Theme:

Jesus invites us to work in his vineyard.

• Objetive :

That the children understand that Jesus wants our answer to be of good quality instead of quantity.

 

•  1-Environment:

Place the following drawing on the notice board.

• 2- Greeting:

Dear children, Jesus always invites us to work with him. He wants us to give him a true answer, not only of words but of actions. Let us listen and be ready to receive his message.

• 3- Renewal of commitment.

-Did you ask forgiveness for any offense?

-Have you prayed for families that are not united and for children who suffer because of this disunion?

• 4- Prayer.

Jesus, you invites us to work with you. You always call workers to work in your kingdom because there is a lot of work. As children, our work is not much but you look at our hearts and you know that we want to give you everything. Help us to work with joy in our hearts and to continue to be your friends. Amen.

• 5- Activity

Give each child a sheet of paper so that each one  can draw  something from the notice board. Each child should explain why his or her choice.

• 6- Gospel

The catechist will then invite the children to listen to the message of Jesus in the gospel, Matthew 20, 1-16.

• 7- Reflexion

Who is the owner of the vineyard that Jesus speaks about? What is the meaning of the fact that different workers receive different salaries? Why does Jesus say that the last shall be first and the first shall be last?

• 8- Enlightenment

Jesus tells us that the amount of time that we spend working is not as important as the quality of our work. Those workers who started first felt badly because they received the same salary as those who started after. In the kingdom of God, there is not preference, those who accept the invitation of Jesus, already have their reward.  For God our generous answer is important. We should not work in the kingdom of God  thinking that God will treat us with differences. God is a just father who loves us and takes care of us.

• 9- Celebration

Standing in a circle, the catechist will invite the children to thank God for calling them to work in his kingdom. They will also thank God for all the people who have helped them to grow in their faith. Finally everyone can sing a song giving thanks to God.
