Dear children, Jesus gave his life for all but He wants us to help Him in the mission of carrying the good news of the gospel to everyone. We cannot go to Jesus alone, we all have to carry others to Jesus. How can we do that? If we are in union with Jesus, He will tell us how.
3- Renewal of commitment

6- Gospel Mark16,15-20.
He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation. 16Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. 17And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; 18they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well." 19After the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, he was taken up into heaven and he sat at the right hand of God. 20Then the disciples went out and preached everywhere, and the Lord worked with them and confirmed his word by the signs that accompanied it.
7- Reflexion
-What did Jesus tell his disciples to do?
-What is needed to do all those wonderful things that Jesus spoke about?
-What did Jesus after He spoke to His disciples?
8- Enlightenment
God the Father, because He loves us very much, wants us to be always willing to help others to get to know Him. It is very sad to know that there are some people who stay by themselves and want to be saved alone they do not listen to Jesus’ command. We have to be careful not to be like those people. Jesus must always be our model. He gave up his life to save us. Ther are many ways of giving up your life for others and because of this we should listen to the voice of the Holy Spirit. Jesus is counting on us in his plan to save others.
9- Celebration
Every child will receive a piece of paper on which he or she will write his or her name when told to. The catechist will tell the children to think about a place in the world that he or she would like to carry the message of Jesus. Then the children would write their names on the peice of paper. The children will then put their names on the place wher they would like to go. Finally they would say the Our Father.
