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 an awe-inspiring celebration of the Word focused upon the Sunday Gospel. We a create new videos each week, tracking with the Liturgical Calendar. Every video follows the ‘Gather, Word, Response and Mission’ structure recommended in the CBCEW Prayer and Liturgy Directory. We are also delighted to be endorsed and recommended by the Scottish Catholic Education Service as an official prayer resource.
Celebrations of the Word
Ep3: IT’s Never Too Late
Is there ever a time when God decides that it is too late for a person to follow him? In the Holy Gospel, Jesus shares a parable about workers in a vineyard. The vineyard owner calls workers at different times of the day but then, in the evening, he pays each worker the same. There is a beautiful truth to be discovered about the loving invitation that God offers to every person. Greg helps us to reflect upon this parable and God's mercy by introducing us to a man called Jaques Fesch. It is a dramatic story of the shocking love and mercy of God. Having considered God's beautiful love and mercy we enter into a time of guided prayer. We conclude our time together by singing the action song 'Trading My Sorrows.'
Ep2: Can I Forgive Like Jesus?
God is always ready to forgive us when we are sorry. But what will you do with that gift of forgiveness? In the Holy Gospel, Jesus shares a parable about a king and a servant who owes a huge debt. It is an example of the wrong way to respond when our trespasses and sins have been wiped away. Katie helps us to reflect upon how we can respond to God's mercy and forgiveness in our own lives and then she leads us in a time of guided prayer. Our hymn is a song honouring Jesus as the greatest of all kings!
Ep1: Forgiveness Is A Strength
What should we do when we fall out with people? Is it right to try and get our own back? In the Gospel, Jesus explains to his disciples the best way to respond. Sr Thérèse then helps us to reflect upon Jesus' words and how choosing to forgive others is a strength. We know that forgiveness can be difficult, but with Jesus to help and guide us, we can choose forgiveness even when it's hard. As we enter a time of guided prayer, we think about anyone we need to forgive and invite Jesus to strengthen us. Finally, we join Sr Chiara as she sings the hymn 'Be Not Afraid.' Join us in prayer and let Jesus help you become a person of forgiveness.
