A Teacher's World

I would like to take some time and congratulate my students for a job well done on their May Crowning Mass. I have uploaded the Mass I used for KINDERGARTEN!! My students practiced these parts and were able to read them in church in front of the whole student body and community members!

I truly have an amazing class. Kindergarten students are just so full of life and so appreciative! I love stepping into my classroom each day to see students who want to work hard and continue learning!

Introduction:

Good morning!

The theme of this mass is to show our thanks for Mary the mother of Jesus. When God chose Mary to be the mother of Jesus, she said “yes” to God. Mary always said yes to God.

Penitential Rite:

Jesus, through Mary your mother, you bring joy to our lives,

Lord have mercy.

Jesus, through Mary your mother, you teach us the meaning of sorrow.

Christ have mercy.

Jesus, through Mary your mother, you promise us your blessing forever,

Lord have mercy.

First Reading:

God said:

I have chosen you. Do not be afraid, I am with you. I will make you strong. You can hold my hand and I will help you.

The word of the Lord.

Responsorial Psalm:

1. Mary said, “My heart sings with thanks. God is great and good. Holy is his name.”
2. God smiled on me. God looks kindly on all poor people.  Holy is his name.
3. God is mighty and powerful. He has done great things for me. Holy is his name.
4. God remembers his people. He has done marvelous deeds for me. Holy is his name.

Second Reading:

And the angel said to Mary, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will over shadow you. Therefore, the child to be born will be called Holy, the Son of God. For nothing will be impossible for God. Mary said, “Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord. May it be done to me according to your word.”

The word of the Lord.

Gospel Acclamation:

Alleluia-

Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with you. Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

Alleluia-

General Intercession:

Our response will be, Lord hear our prayer.

1. For all our religious and world leaders that they will do what God wants them to do, we pray.
2. That we will be loving and obey our parents like Jesus did, we pray.
3. That children will answer their call to serve God, we pray.

Thanksgiving Reflection:

Lovely Lady dressed in blue, teach me how to pray.

Jesus was just your little boy. Teach me what to say.

Did you lift him up sometimes, gently on your knee?

Did you sing to him the way mother does to me?

Did you hold his hand at night?

Did you ever try telling stories of the world?

Oh, and did he cry?

Do you really think he cares if I tell him things, 

Little things that happen?

Do the angel’s wings make noise? Can he hear me when I speak low?

Does he understand me now? Tell me for you know.

Lovely Lady dressed in blue, teach me how to pray.

Jesus was just your little boy, and you know the way.
