Kids Corner with Cian and Bella.
Luke 16:1-13 • Money, Money, Money
Bella: Hi Cian, how you?
Cian: Cool, just thinking about making my Confirmation this year.
Bella: Yeah, it will be great! My sis made hers and guess how much money she ended up with? Only 500 Euro!
Cian: Whoa! That’s amazing, can’t wait ... what will I buy for myself? Well a new jersey, then a bike, new boots, premier league ball, and, and ...
Bella: Hey Cian, you’re totally getting carried away with yourself. We are talking about our Confirmation not the Lotto! Think about it Ciano, the mon will be fun but we really need to focus on the sacrament and how it confirms everything that we have lived so far as Christians, it’s a really big deal y’know.
Cian: Sorry Bella, what am I at? I need to cop on and really think about the Gospel this Sunday. It is about the very same thing.
Bella: I know! I just heard it at Mass and that is why I reacted so quickly to you!!
Try to give up one opportunity to buy something for yourself this week and give the money to Trócaire instead.
NEXT SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 26TH, AT 11, IS THE FIRST MONTHLY MASS IN OUR FIRST COMMUNION, DO THIS IN MEMORY, PROGRAMME.
