The person who throws the dice answers the question. The names of the players are written on a page and who answers correctly wins 2 points and who does not answer gets no points.

6- Gospel
John 6, 41- 51.
41 Then the Jews began to complain about him because he said, ‘I am the bread that came down from heaven.’ 42They were saying, ‘Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How can he now say, “I have come down from heaven”?’ 43Jesus answered them, ‘Do not complain among yourselves. 44No one can come to me unless drawn by the Father who sent me; and I will raise that person up on the last day. 45It is written in the prophets, “And they shall all be taught by God.” Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to me. 46Not that anyone has seen the Father except the one who is from God; he has seen the Father. 47Very truly, I tell you, whoever believes has eternal life. 48I am the bread of life. 49Your ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died. 50This is the bread that comes down from heaven, so that one may eat of it and not die. 51I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats of this bread will live for ever; and the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.’
7- Reflexion
-What did the people who knew Jesus since He was a child say?
-Who makes us go closer to Jesus? What does Jesus say to all those who believe in him? Who are the ones who will live for ever?
8- Enlightenment
For many Sundays we have thought about faith. We think that it is easy to believe, but that is not so. We form our own ideas as time goes by, we look at the world in different ways and sometimes all of this separate us from Jesus and his teachings. Jesus has asked us to believe in him, in his words, in his promises, in his life, in his teachings and in his disinterested love. The temptations against faith come to us without us realizing what is happening. So we must be careful. If we pray, read the word of God and receive the sacraments our faith will be strong and Jesus will be first in our hearts and lives.
9- Celebration
The catechist will tell the children to stand around the table where the bible, thecross and the candle were placed. The candle should be lighted. The catechist will invite the children to remember the Gospel reading and to tell Jesus how much they believe in Him.( The meeting could be ended with a song about faith.)
