Dear Jesus, the words written on the notice board are of great importance to us. We know that you love us and because of this , you are with us. You are present in our meetings and that is important, you give us advice and you help us. We give you thanks and we ask you that many more people announce the kingdom of God in the world. Amen.
5- Activity
Complete the following drawing and color it. Write in the given space what is your opinion on the missionary child.
6- Gospel
In the message of the gospel of Matthew 18, 15-20, we find important ideas but we are only going to take into consideration three of them.
So it is not the will of my Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish. 15 "If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault, between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained your brother. 16 But if he does not listen, take one or two others along with you, that every word may be confirmed by the evidence of two or three witnesses. 17 If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church; and if he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector. 18 Truly, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. 19 Again I say to you, if two of you agree on earth about anything they ask, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. 20 For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I in the midst of them."
7- Reflexion
-What does Jesus tell us that we should do when we see someone doing something wrong?
-What does Jesus say about when two people agree on asking God our father for something?
-Where is Jesus when two or three are together in his name?
8- Enlightenment
Jesus teaches us today that we should correct those who have done something bad. Sometimes we see someone, a friend, a brother, a sister doing something that is not right and for one reason or another we say nothing. But if we do not correct that person, we become a accomplice of the person who has acted badly. We should help those who have acted badly. Another point is that when I do something that I shouldn’t, I should be humble and accept correction from other people. Jesus tells us that we should ask God our father to make us humble and sincere of heart, capable of helping without expecting rewards. When we get together in Jesus’ name, he is there with us. Because of this, if we want Jesus to be with us always, we should be together always in Jesus’ name.
9- Celebration
Let us stand in a circle, holding hands. Let us close our eyes and say this prayer: You, Jesus, are always with us, You are the most important person in our lives. Today You have taught us that we should correct those who behave badly. We ask You to help us to accept corrections from other people whenever we behave badly. We also ask You to help people who behave badly to accept corrections and change their way of life. Stay with us now and forever. Amen.
