St Kieran's Primary School

The two days we had with the young people of St Kieran's Primary School were very enjoyable. We had the opportunity to talk about the Sacrament of Confirmation, to meditate and to organise a prayer service. The young people were very enthusiastic and a joy to work with.

Focus:
We made this person happy because this is how we felt on on retreat today. Our hands represent each person on retreat today and they are holding the kites that remind us of the Holy Spirit.

Music:
The Climb. We chose this song because it represents the steps that we are going to make in our lives and making our confirmation is our next big step.
Wisdom. We picked this song as it is one of the gifts we receive in confirmation, and it is a very important gift.

Scripture:
We read the reading 'You are the light of the world' (Mt:5) and as we read it out in our prayers service we thought of what it means. We are the light of the world and we need to help others.

Prayers:

Dear Lord

Please help the people in Africa who are dying

Amen

Dear Lord

Please help all the sick people in the world

and please help the homeless and give them homes.

Please take care of them

Lord hear us

Dear Lord

I would like to pray for the homeless and the needy.

I also would like to pray for the people who are lonely and are very sick.

And anyone who has died recently

Lord hear us.

Poster:
We wrote on our poster, let your light shine as we were talking about this today. The 3 colours at the bottom, white, grey and red, represent the Holy Spirit as dove, wind and fire.

Focus:
We made this because the dove represents God and the Holy Spirit. Also it makes God feel happy. 

Music:
Hannanh Montana, The climb. We chose this song because it has a massage that reminds us to move on.
Where is the love, Black eyed peas. We chose this song because it tells people to think twice. 

Scripture:

You are the light of the world. This means that we have light inside our body's and that we show that light by doing good things eg: helping people, caring for others, sharing.
We are holing the candle because it represents the light inside us all.

Prayers:

Dear God

Please pray for all the families that are having trouble or don't get along. 

Pray for all the families who have had deaths recently. 

Make sure they know that you will be with them.

 I hope they will learn that it's ok because

 whatever happened, you will be there for them. 

You are the best cure for anything because they know 

that when they die they will be coming to you and will be

 never forgotten by their family and friends.

Lord hear us

Dear God

Please bless the people who are sick 

and elderly and please bless their families

Lord hear us

Dear God

Please pray for all the people who are in poverty and are sick

Lord hear us

We chose this title, Change the World, because we want everybody to go to mass and believe in Jesus.
