Children's Liturgy, Sunday May 9th 2010.

The SIXTH SUNDAY of EASTER.
We listened to today's Gospel, where Jesus talks of Love, Faith, Belief and Hope. (John 14:23-29.)

Each alone gives us strength, but put them together and we become invincible. (Nothing can beat us!)

We also heard a passage taken from the life of Dr. Vicktor Frankl, who spent time in a Nazi death camp during World War 2. He suffered mentally and physically, but found that the deep love for his wife brought him salvation.
He realised that he and his wife loved each other so much that nothing could destroy that love, even if they never saw each other again. In fact, they were separated and she was sent to her death, but still the love lived on. So did Vicktor Frankl. He survived and lived into old age, again finding happiness with a second wife, but never stopping loving the wife he had lost.

A man who has nothing left in the world may still know bliss, even if only for a short time.

Dear God,
We pray for everyone who has suffered at the hands of others. May their inner strength bring them peace.
Amen

We wrote our own prayers about Faith, Love and belief.
Dear God,
Please help my Mum to get better. I love her so much.
Amen
Dear God,
Please look after people and give them hope, especially people in Africa that don't have parents and people who live in different countries that don't have food or water.
Amen
Dear God,
I hope that this world becomes a better place and a more peaceful place to live in for children and adults and other people who want peace. Amen.

Jesus on the cross when he died. Jesus we praise you.

Dear God,
Thank you for people , giving me people that give me love and thank you for people who have faith in me. Thank you God and thank you for people helping me.

To God,
Thank you for making me love my Mum and help people who are poor then help them find some food and thank you for the people who help me in something that I am stuck on.
Amen

To God,
Please help me be a good boy. Let me pass all my tests.

Dear God,
Thank you for looking after Nanny who is in Heaven, who died before Easter.

Dear God,
Please help those that got put in death camps. The people that survived were lucky. But God help those that didn't survive. Look after them in Heaven. It's very unlucky for someone in your family to die so please look after them all.
Love them in Heaven.
Amen

Dear God,
I love all my family, friends in the world.I love everyone always.
Amen

Dear God,
Thank you for making love, just as I love you and you love me. Thank you for dying for us. I love my family and friends and so do you. You went in the desert for forty days and forty nights without any food or water.

Dear God,
Thank you for everything you've given us and for helping us. And thank you for helping me.
Amen
