The Readings
The readings cited are the readings contained in the Lectionary for Masses with Children. These readings may differ at times from those heard by the adults. They may be shorter, there may be only one reading, plus the Psalm and the Gospel, or the First Readings may be different altogether from those the adults hear. The Gospel most always is the same, but may be the shorter form. The Directory for Masses with Children allows for these differences to accommodate the children’s level of comprehension.
Activities
The last three pages of this book offer bonus activities intended for use by children who are pre-readers or beginning readers. Here are some suggestions, but all three activities could be used at any time. The first two activities could be used just before or after Pentecost Sunday on May 28. The third bonus is an activity most appropriate for the Nineteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time on August 13.
