This Sunday, let’s recall everything that has happened over the last few weeks.

On Good Friday, Jesus died on the Cross.

On Easter Sunday, he rose from the dead!

On Thursday of last week, we celebrated the Feast of the Ascension, when Jesus went to join his Father in Heaven.

Prayer

This Sunday, we hear how Jesus prayed to his Father in Heaven for us. He showed us how we can pray to him as well.

In this week’s Children’s Liturgy by Zoom, we will explore different ways to pray. The worksheet includes prayer cards for children to cut out and colour in.

(An urgent appeal for Prayer!)

Action

When Jesus went to join his Father in Heaven, he left us in charge of our world. Pope Francis sent us all a letter about this. With the coronavirus pandemic turning the world upside down, could now be the time to change things? What can you do about it?

(N.B. The Look worksheet for this week focuses on the Feast of the Ascension rather than the Gospel reading for the 7th Sunday of Easter: LOOK-Sunday-24th-May-2020)

In today’s Gospel we hear about how Jesus knows each of us by name, like a shepherd knows his sheep.

Today’s Children’s Liturgy will again take place live online via Zoom. It’s fun, it’s social and it’s all focused on today’s Gospel story.

Please bring along a stuffed sheep toy, a mini-figure sheep, your own drawing of a sheep, a cut-out of a sheep, a picture of a sheep from a storybook you have – or any other way you can think of to suggest a sheep. Today we are all Jesus’ sheep!

If you would like to register for the Children’s Liturgy, please follow these instructions.

Today we will hold our first live online Children’s Liturgy via Zoom. If you participate regularly in the Children’s Liturgy and have not received an invitation, please contact parish@catholic.lu.

Today’s Gospel reading tells a seriously surprising story of how Jesus appeared to his disciples several days after rising from the dead on Easter Sunday. This video explains what happened in the form of a poem:
