LITTLE LITURGIES
Our Little Liturgies are a beautiful way for younger children to take their first steps into friendship with Jesus
We passionately believe that a child’s first few years at school are critically important in their faith formation. The Little Liturgies introduce children to the person of Jesus and help them enjoy their relationship with him. Every week we share the Gospel and then use questions of wonder and beautifully rich symbols to help children to enter into prayer. We always conclude in song, showing Jesus how much we love him as we sing.
Easter Little Liturgies
Ep33: Hail Mary Queen Of May
May is the Month of Mary. In this Little Liturgy we listen to Jesus’ voice in the Gospel as he speaks about ‘The Way’ to the ‘Father’s House.’ To follow Jesus’ way, we can ask Mary, Our Lady, to help us. She knows Jesus so well and can help us to walk with him. We ask for Our Lady’s help in prayer and then sing a beautiful hymn to her called ‘Flowers of the Rarest.’ There are some actions to learn too!
Ep32: Listen To The Good Shepherd
This Easter Little Liturgy is for Good Shepherd Sunday, the Fourth Sunday of Easter. In the Gospel we hear the parable of the Good Shepherd and Jesus tells us that his sheep listen to his voice. We can listen to Jesus' voice when we pray, open the Bible and visit him at Mass. We pray that this Little Liturgy helps children at school, home and in the parish experience the guiding love of their Good Shepherd.
Ep31: Road To Emmaus
In the Gospel, Jesus meets two of his friends who are sad. It’s Easter Sunday afternoon but the two friends do not know Jesus is alive again. Jesus speaks, walks and eats with them. Then as Jesus breaks some bread, they recognise him. Greg helps us know four different ways we can recognise Jesus with us. We then move into a time of prayer and finish with the song ‘Praise!’
Ep30: Jesus Won’t Forget You
It’s Easter Sunday night and Jesus’s friends are hiding behind a locked door. But Jesus comes in and stands with them. They are so pleased to see Jesus, however one of his disciples, Thomas, is missing. He is sad and confused. Did Jesus forget about Thomas. In our prayer time we learn that Jesus never forgets us and that even when we can’t see him, he is close and loving us.
Ep29: He Is Risen!
Today we celebrate Easter Sunday, the greatest moment of the Church year! In the Gospel, we join Jesus’ friends as they walk silently to his tomb. At the tomb something amazing happens, the stone is rolled away by and angel and the tomb is empty. Together, we enter into the awe and wonder of this Easter Gospel and then meet the Risen Jesus in prayer. We also have a brilliant action song to finish called ‘Thine Be The Glory.‘
