Vivian E. Williams
Children's Liturgy of the Word provides liturgy
preparation pages and liturgy guides for every Sunday and Holyday of
Obligation. Each liturgy guide includes words of dismissal for the
presider, an opening and closing prayer, petitions for the Prayer of the
Faithful, and the full text of an interactive homily/reflection that
connects the Word to the life experiences of children.
Children's Liturgy of the Word allows the power of the
liturgy to act on children, facilitating their growing relationship with
God and allowing them to testify to their own experiences of God's
presence. Instead of following a traditional classroom model of a lesson
followed by an activity or game, this resource closely follows the
structure of the Liturgy of the Word being celebrated in the main
assembly, as stipulated by the Directory for Masses with Children and
the introduction to the Lectionary for Masses with Children. This
resource makes leading a liturgically appropriate celebration of the
Word easy, even for inexperienced leaders.
