Designed for Children Aged 8+ Each Celebration of the Word leads children to Jesus. We share the Gospel, wonder about its meaning, enter into prayer and sing
Each episode is a Sunday Gospel celebration of the Word, full of awe and wonder. We a create new videos each week, tracking with the Liturgical Calendar.

Celebrations of the Word
Ep10: KEEP YOUR LAMP BURNING
If Jesus returned to earth in glory, would you be ready to welcome him? In this episode, Jesus shares with us a parable about a bridegroom and ten bridesmaids who are waiting to welcome him. The story carries a warning. Five of the bridesmaids have been wise and have brought extra oil to keep their lamps burning through the night. The other five have been foolish and end up being locked out of the wedding feast. This parable carries a loving invitation from Jesus, to always live with expectation in our hearts that one day we will meet him face to face. The best way to make sure our hearts are ready is to meet Jesus in prayer. We do that together and then lift up our voices in song. Join us for this episode to listen to the Word of God, pray, sing and to make sure your lamp is full with the love of Jesus.

Ep9: Can you be a saint?
November is the Month of the Holy Souls, and it begins with the Solemnity of All Saints. To mark this special celebration, we listen to Jesus in the Gospel as he shares his great teaching, the Beatitudes. His words show us how to live a holy life and become saints. Greg reflects on how the first Christians stood out from the crowd by showing love and care to others, even when it was difficult. Their example helped people in the Roman Empire discover Jesus. We are invited to live with that same love and discover that God has made each of us to become a saint. In our time of guided prayer, we ask Jesus to help us love others and we pray for those who have died. We say the Eternal Rest prayer together before joining Sr Chiara to sing ‘Holy Forever’. This episode is a chance to celebrate All Saints and begin the month of November with Jesus.
