Childrens Liturgy of The Word

Brothers and Sisters,

Everyone who is guided by the Holy Spirit is a child of God. We have been adopted by God, and when we pray, "Abba, Father, " it is the Holy Spirit and our own spirit telling us that we truly are God's children.  And if we are God's children, we will have eternal life like Jesus who is God's son.  Romans 8:14-17

Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you.
As the Father has sent me, so I send you.”
And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them,
“Receive the Holy Spirit.
Whose sins you forgive are forgiven them,
and whose sins you retain are retained.”

"Brothers and sisters:  May the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, give you a Spirit of wisdom and revelation resulting in knowledge of him.  May the eyes of your hearts be enlightened, that you may know what is the hope that belongs to his call, what are the riches of glory in his inheritance among holy ones, and what is the surpassing greatness of his power for us who believe in accord with the exercise of his great might, which he worked in Christ, raising him from the dead and seating him at his right hand in the heavens, far above every principality, authority, power and dominion, and every name that is named not only in this age but also in the one to come. And he put all things beneath his feet and gave him as head over all things to the church, which is his body, the fullness of the one who fills all things in every way." Ephesians 1:17-23

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
who in his great mercy gave us a new birth to a living hope
through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading,

"But if Christ is in you,although the body is dead because of sin,  the spirit is alive because of righteousness.
If the Spirit of the one who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you,  the one who raised Christ from the dead will give life to your mortal bodies also, through his Spirit dwelling in you."  Heb 8:8-11 NAB

"Brothers and sisters, there was a time when you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord."

Jesus answered and said to her,
“Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again;
but whoever drinks the water I shall give will never thirst;
the water I shall give will become in him
a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”

"This dazzling brightness which emanated from His whole Body was produced by an interior shining of His Divinity. False Judaism had rejected the Messias, and now true Judaism, represented by Moses and Elias, the Law and the Prophets, recognized and adored Him, while for the second time God the Father proclaimed Him His only-begotten and well-loved Son. By this glorious manifestation the Divine Master, who had just foretold His Passion to the Apostles (Matthew 16:21), and who spoke with Moses and Elias of the trials which awaited Him at Jerusalem, strengthened the faith of his three friends and prepared them for the terrible struggle of which they were to be witnesses in Gethsemani, by giving them a foretaste of the glory and heavenly delights to which we attain by suffering." Catholic Encyclopedia

For just as through the disobedience of the one man
the many were made sinners, 
so, through the obedience of the one, 
the many will be made righteous. Rom 5:19

"Life is worth more than what we eat or drink or wear...Look first for God's kingdom and being right with God.  Then you will have all you need."  Matthew 6:24-33
