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 the first years of a child’s life 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 rich symbols to help children enter into prayer. We always conclude in song, showing Jesus how much we love him as we sing.

Little Liturgies

Ep4: Pray The Holy Rosary

Join the Little Liturgies and pray the Holy Rosary. The Holy Rosary is a Catholic prayer you can pray any time anywhere. It can help you hold Our Lady's hand and move closer to Jesus. In this Little Liturgy, we meet Jesus when he is twelve years old. We hear how Our Lady and St Joseph find him teaching in the Temple. It is a moment of awe, wonder and joy. We want to help draw children into the joy of praying the Holy Rosary and we slowly pray a decade together. We end with our favourite Marian hymn, As I Kneel Before You.

Ep3: Will Jesus Invite Me?

It's time to hear another parable from Jesus about the kingdom of God. In the Sunday Gospel, Jesus shares a parable about workers being invited to work in a vineyard. Some come early in the day, some later... but in the evening, they are all paid the same. Jesus uses this story to help us know that every person is invited into his kingdom. We think about how every time we pray we are stepping forward to be close to Jesus. We do this together as we enter a time of guided prayer and then we end our celebration with the action song 'Trading My Sorrows.'

Ep2: WHY SHOULD I FORGIVE?

Forgiving other people can be difficult. In the Gospel, St Peter asks Jesus how many times he should forgive a person when they've done something wrong. Jesus uses a parable about a king and a servant to show that we should always try to forgive. Greg helps us to understand that Jesus will always forgive us and therefore we should do the same for others. We ask Jesus to help us to be people of forgiveness when we pray. We then join Sr Chiara to sing 'Sign Your Cross.'

Ep1: Is Jesus With Me?

Do you know when Jesus is close to you? We are back for another year of Little Liturgies and in this first episode we think about when and where Jesus is especially close to us. In the Holy Gospel, Jesus makes us a wonderful promise. He says "Where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them." Greg helps us to know that whenever we gather with other people to pray, Jesus is there with us. We think about how Jesus is with us each time we pray and in an especially powerful way each time we are at Holy Mass. Having talked about all of this, we then enter into prayer and meet Jesus in our hearts. We finish our Little Liturgy by joining Sr Chiara to sing the hymn 'Be Not Afraid.'

    In this Little Liturgy, Jesus shares the beautiful Parable of the Sower. Together, we discover that the seeds in the story are like the loving words Jesus speaks to our hearts. As we reflect on the Gospel, we wonder how we can become like good soil by listening to Jesus, praying with him, and making room for his love to grow.

    In this Little Liturgy, we draw close to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and wonder at the depth of his love for every person. Listening to the Sunday Gospel, we hear how Jesus is filled with compassion for the crowds and chooses twelve apostles to help him care for God's people.

    Ep38: Jesus The Living Bread

    We are celebrating Corpus Christi. In the Gospel, we meet Jesus as he shares a beautiful teaching with his friends.

    Ep36: The Day of Pentecost

    Ep35: Jesus Ascends To Heaven

    In this Little Liturgy, we celebrate the Ascension of the Lord. We hear in the Gospel how Jesus returned to heaven and made a beautiful promise to his disciples: “I am with you always.” He makes the same promise to us.

    Jesus loves us so much and wants us to know that he is always by our side. In the Gospel, we meet Jesus and his friends at the Last Supper.

    May is the Month of Mary.

  • Ep31: Road to Emmaus

    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.

    Ep29: Holy Week: Before Jesus Died

    The night before Jesus died, he gathered for a passover meal with his friends. Here he gave them a beautiful gift, his body and blood. The next day Jesus would give his life to take away the sins of the world. We invite you to journey with us to the upper room and celebrate the Last Supper with Jesus. This profound and beautiful moment brings together not just the institution of the Eucharist, but also Jesus sacrifice on the cross. We pray that this Celebration of the Word welcomes children into the sacred moments of Holy Week
