Children's Liturgy Sunday October 8th 2006
Untitled Document
At this time of the year, we celebrate the harvest- the gathering in of
all the food we have grown. We thank God for all that we are given. We
realise we have such a wide choice of many foods, such as fruit, because
we are able to buy things from other countries.
Some of our food comes from far off countries, where sometimes children
have to work in order to make sure their families have enough to eat.
Our world would have enough food if we all shared fairly.
We have drawn pictures of children with the food that has been grown.
We hope we share fairly with people who come to this country. |

| When
we are kind, we are giving back to God his harvest of love. We put our
harvest baskets of our drawings on to the altar. |

| This
week in France, Frankie saw a display which told us how important it is
to share the good things on our earth in a way which makes sure every
single person is thought about and kept safe. This includes things we
all take for granted, such as petrol, which comes from oil we get from
certain places. Sometimes rich countries fight to make sure they get what
they need .Many people get hurt, and the rich seem not to care whether
there will be enough left for other people who will live after us. |

| Last
Sunday was the feast of St. Theresa. Whilst he was in France this week,
Frankie went to visit Lisieux, the town where she lived. He went to the
house where she lived when she was a little girl. Here is a picture of
her garden. You can see the statue of her asking her father if she could
become a nun and give her life to God. |

St.
Theresa gave a harvest of love back to God. She realised she could not
be a priest or a missionary, doing important work which was easily seen.
Then she had the wonderful idea that she would spend her life doing little
acts of love and kindness. She would also pray for other people to save
souls, which would be a harvest for God.
