Our Third Advent Little Liturgy invites children to celebrate Gaudete Sunday, the Sunday of joy. As we gather together, we notice the pink cloth and light the pink candle on our Advent wreath. We then listen to the Gospel where St John the Baptist, from his prison cell, hears about the amazing things Jesus is doing. We also draw close to the stable in Bethlehem and consider the beautiful joy Mary, St Joseph, the shepherds and wise men felt as they met with Jesus. We end with prayer and the beautiful Advent hym ‘Gabriel’s Message.’

Our second Advent Little Liturgy helps children experience the Sunday Gospel and hear the words of St John the Baptist as he cries ‘Prepare the way of the Lord.’ We pray about how we can make a beautiful straight path for the Lord Jesus to come into our hearts and fill us with his love. We then meet Jesus in prayer and end by singing the Advent hymn ‘O Come O Come Emmanuel.'

What is the season of Advent all about? In this Little Liturgy, we discover that Advent is about getting ready for two things: the celebration of Christmas and the Parousia! After sharing the Gospel for the First Sunday of Advent, Greg shares more about these two events and how you can 'stay awake' and be ready! We also have a beautiful Advent hymn to share called 'Come Thou Long Expected Jesus.'

Jesus is the King of the Universe! In this Little Liturgy we celebrate the Solemnity of Christ the King together. In the Christ the King Gospel, we hear the beautiful words of Jesus from the cross. Greg helps us to reflect upon the type of king Jesus is. We then pray and welcome King Jesus to sit on the throne of our hearts. We conclude with Angel as she sings 'King of Kings.'

What should we do when disasters come? Keep loving and following Jesus. In the Gospel Jesus predicts that the Temple will be destroyed and great disasters will happen. We take this tricky Gospel and use it as beautiful chance to present Catholic Social Teaching to the youngest children. We should prefer the poor and always help those who are facing difficulties and disasters.

This Little Liturgy celebrates the Feast of the Dedication of the Lateran Basilica. In the Gospel, we meet Jesus in the Temple. Jesus is not pleased to find the Temple full of noise and busyness. He knows it should be a holy place. Greg reflects upon how our hearts can be a holy place and we can make sure there is space for God there. We invite God into our hearts when we pray together and then sing The Lord's Prayer with Angel.

We are celebrating All Saints together. But what is a saint and how can you become one? We explore these questions after listening to a reading from Saint John. We then pray together with the saints, asking for their help to be saints one day too. We end by singing a beautiful hymn called 'O Praise the Name.'

Jesus shares a parable about a pharisee and a tax collector in the Sunday Gospel. Both men go to the Temple to pray. One makes a boastful prayer but the other is honest and sorrowful. Which man do you think Jesus will say made the better prayer? Greg helps us to reflect upon this parable and how pleased Jesus is when we make an honest prayer. We also pray the 'Lord Have Mercy' together and then join Sr Chiara to sing 'Be Still.'

In the Gospel, Jesus shares with us a parable about a widow and a mean judge. The widow needs help and won't take 'no' for an answer. Jesus teaches us the importance of not giving up on prayer. Greg then teaches us the five finger prayer, popularised by Pop Francis. We then use this prayer and join Joe to sing 'Faithful Father.'

Jesus meets ten lepers, people suffering from a terrible skin disease. Jesus heals them all but only one returns. In this Little Liturgy, we learn the power and importance of saying thank you, especially to Jesus. We pray together, thanking Jesus for all of the good things he gives to us. We the sing 'All The People Said Amen' with Sr Chiara.

Did you know that you have a guardian angel? Jesus chose a guardian angel for you when you were born. Your guardian angel watches over you and guides you to God. In this celebration, we wonder about our guardian angels and learn the 'Angel of God Prayer.' We pray this celebration of the Word introduces a new generation of children to a beautiful devotion that many older Catholics grew up with.

Mary is our Queen and Mother. She helps us to know and love Jesus more. In this special Rosary Challenge Little Liturgy, filmed at St George's Cathedral, we travel through the important moments of Our Lady's life on earth. We pray the Holy Rosary together and sing a beautiful hymn to Our Lady.

Jesus loves you so much and is delighted each time you choose to be honest and trustworthy. In this Little Liturgy we listen to the beautiful words of Jesus and respond to his question "Can I trust you?" Greg helps us to meet with Jesus in prayer and we then sing 'Make Me a Channel of Your Peace' with Angel.

Why is the cross our symbol as Christians? What do you see when you look at the cross? As we celebrate the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross we listen to the beautiful words of Jesus in the Gospel. Greg then helps us open our hearts to the meaning of the cross and what we can think when we see it. Sr Chiara closes our celebration with the perfect song: Sign Your Cross.

Carlo Acutis is being made a saint of the Catholic Church. Saint Carlo had a super power which helped him love his family and friends. Greg helps us to know St Carlo Acutis more and to be inspired to follow his example. We then enter into the quiet of prayer and sing the hymn "Here I Am Lord" with Angel.
