Jesus meets his mother
Leader: We adore you O Christ, and we praise you. (genuflect)
ALL: Because by your holy cross, you have redeemed the world
Leader: Jesus knew that his mother was sad to see him suffering. But he was happy she came to him. Mary loves Jesus so much
Reflection:
Our parents love us and are always there for us. We need to think about all the things they do for us and don’t get time to do for themselves. We need to remember how much they love us and we need to thank them for all that they do.
Family challenge:
Share a time when you were really glad to see your parents. Were you going through a hard time? Do you remember what was happening? When has your family been there to specially help you? Family is your biggest support in life, when all else goes wrong, your family will still be there. Tell your parents thank you for everything they do for you.
Prayer:
Leader: Our parents love us very much, and sometimes we don't let them hug us and care for us because we are mad or sad or don't want them to see us in trouble. Jesus, I thank you for my parents and their love for me.
All sing: Were you there when they crucified my lord? Were you there when they crucified my lord? Oh! Sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble. Were you there when they crucified my lord?
