Children's Liturgy of the Word
Liturgy of the Word with Children is a celebration of the first part of the Mass - Liturgy of the Word - adapted for children. The adaptation includes:
- Scripture readings adapted in a language children can understand.
- Only 2 readings, the first and the third, are proclaimed.
- The homily takes the form of a dialogue
- Often audiovisuals are used in the reflection.
What it is not
- a religion class
- a craft time
- a substitute for a religion class.
What is the Ideal Context for Liturgy of the Word with Children?
- Brief reading of the Gospel the day before Sunday as a family
- Short explanation of vocabulary children may not be familiar with
- Inviting the children to listen carefully during the celebration
- Speaking about it briefly following Mass
