Lent Assembly The beginning of Lent Primary 3/4

We Gather In Body We gather in body, We gather in mind, In peace and in quiet, Together to find Gods Holy Spirit round and about us, Through us, with us, and in us. (Repeat 3 times)

Lets think about our lives. What should we change over the coming weeks? Should we have a new direction?

We forget to show love to each other Think of your answers to these questions

Class Do I put others off their work? Do I work as hard as I could? Am I helpful to others in my group? Do I make my teacher’s job hard?

Playground Do I play nicely with others in the playground? Am I a nice person when I lose or am I a bad sport? Do I put my litter in the bin so that my school looks nice? Do I include people who have nobody to play with?

Home Do I help keep the house clean? Do I think of others and what they want to do? Do I thank God for what I have? Do I tidy my room and clear up my mess? Do I say ‘thank you’ to the people who care for me?

Faith Do I say my Do I go to mass prayers with all as often as I can? my heart? Do I go to mass as often as I can? Faith Am I a good Christian and do I set a good example? Do I live my life the way Jesus showed me?

Friends Do we leave others out of our games? Do I fall out with friends over small things? Do we use bad language and call others names? Do we set a bad example to young children?

We can start afresh. Like a new day

Follow the example Jesus set for us

I’m Sorry God Even when we disobey, Gods love is always there, God wraps us in his love each day, Speaks gently to us on our way, Even when we disobey, Gods love is always there, God loves us every day. Sometimes God I do not care, I’m selfish and I do not share, I’m sorry God, Now I’ve come to know……. 2. Sometimes God I tell a lie, Or hurt my friends, and make them cry, 3. When I am angry, God, I shout, I scream, I stamp, and I give out.

Open Our Hearts and Minds To God

Response… Hear our prayer

Sanctus Sanctus, Sanctus when we love with our hearts, Sanctus, Sanctus when we give with our lives, Help us O Lord to live in your love, Let our lives show all your ways. 1. In our work, in our play, when we think, when we pray. Help us all to be true to your way, Yahweh. In our paths as we meet people on the street, Let our smiles light up their lives, Yahweh. 2. We are called, one and all, to be gentle and kind, To be saintly and true in simple ways, When we share, when we give, When we praise, when we live, When we light others’ lives, we’re showing love.
