Today in children's liturgy we listened to the Gospel story of Jesus' visit to Martha and Mary's house. Then to break open the Word and share the Good News the children served others like Martha served Jesus, but rather than make a meal they helped weed the cloister where the statue of St Therese of Lisieux stands.
They then followed Mary's example of listening to the Lord, sitting in small groups the children passed a shell and listened speaking to Jesus in their heart. Through these actions the children experienced the activity of Martha and the silent attentive listening of Mary.
