Preparations before the Mass Celebration

The Catholics pray through various methods but especially through the Eucharistic Celebration, the Holy Mass. In the book of the Acts of the Apostles and the Letters of Saint Paul, one finds a description of how the first Catholic communities used to celebrate the Holy Mass. In Rome, the first Catholics celebrated mass in the catacombs using the tombs of the martyrs as altars. Through this method, they celebrated a remembrance of Jesus Christ on the cross and his Resurrection. The Holy Eucharist is a celebration through which we continue to live the Last Supper of Jesus with his Apostles before his Body and Blood were given up to us and said: “Do this in memory of me.”

Fil-ħlewwa ta’ Mejju

Fil-ħlewwa ta’ Mejju,
Omm tagħna Marija
O kemm idoqq ħlejju dak ismek sabiħ
Kemm toħroġ qawwija
Dil-kelma minn qalbna
Bit-tama li talbna jagħtik l-akbar ġieħ.

Rit:
Int l-għaxqa tas-sema
Ix-xemx tal-ħolqien
Int l-omm ta’ min ħalqek
Bik mimli kull żmien.

Jekk tiftaħ fil-ġonna il-warda Maltija
Tfakkarna o Madonna fil-lewn ta’ ħaddejk
Jekk tidħak id-dija tal-kwiekeb irżina
Tfakkarna o ħanina fid-dawl ta’ għajnejk Rit:

Minn dejjem bint Alla, nadifa mill-ħtija
Infrixt bħal qawsalla fuq ras il-bnedmin
Int ftaħt o Marija l-għejun ta’ kull ħniena
Fuq l-aħwa ħosbiena, fuq l-aħwa ħatjin. Rit:

Għalhekk ja sultana tal-ħlewwa Marija

Bil-grazzja mimlija kull waqt insellmulek
Bil-ħrara ngħajtulek fis-siegħa tad-dmugħ Rit:


Fis-Santwarju tal-Madonna

Hawn quddiemek, Madonna mixħut
Għax inħossni hekk mifni u batut
Jiena ġrejt u staqsejt fejn insib ftit mistrieħ
U bagħtuni f’riġlejk minnufih.

U qaluli, Madonna li ssebbaħ il-ġonna
U għaliex inti Ommna taħt ħarstek  iżżommna
U aħna minn qalbna, Madonna nfaħħruk.
U qaluli, Madonna li ssebbaħ il-ġonna
U għaliex inti Ommna taħt ħarstek  iżżommna
U aħna, Madonna, bħal ommna  nżommuk.

Barra l-ġemgħa titniehed mar-riħ,
Fejn tiġġerra fid-dlam u fil-ksieħ,
Għalhekk ġejt, għax staqsejt fejn insib ftit  tal-kenn,
U qaluli li inti taf tħenn.

U qaluli, Madonna …

Queen of the May

Bring the flowers of the rarest,
Bring blossoms the fairest,
From garden and woodland
and hillside and vale.

Our full hearts are swelling,
Our glad voices telling
The praise of the loveliest, flower of the vale.

Rit/ O Mary we crown thee with blossoms  today
Queen of the angels and Queen of the  May. (2)

Their Lady they name thee
Their Mistress proclaim thee
Ah! Grant that thy children on earth be as  true
As long as the bowers are radiant with  flowers
As long as the azure shall keep its bright hue. O Mary…

Our voices ascending in harmony blending,
Oh! Thus may our hearts turn,
Dear Mother, to thee;
And thus shall we prove thee,
How truly we love thee
How dark without Mary, 
life’s journey would be. O Mary…


Lady so Fair

Lady so fair, listen to me,
Lovelier you are
By far than I can say.

Listen to me (2)

Mother of truth, guide our youth,
Keep them true and close to you,
And they’ll win through.

Listen to me (2)

Mother of light, shine in our night,
Show us the road, share our load,
And we’ll find peace.

Listen to me (2)

Mother of pain, be once again,
She who cars, the burden shares,
And heals all ills,

Listen to me (2)

Mother of love, stoop from above,
Soften our hearts, take our part,
And we’ll spread love,

Listen to me (2)

Mother of God, give us the grace,
Then we’ll see, Like thee Christ’s own face,

Listen to me (2)

During the Holy Mass

Preparations
Introduction
Liturgy of the Word
Liturgy of the Eucharist
Closings

Before the mass starts, the animator helps the students to spend some time in silence. One can guide and explain to the students to sit down with their back straight, breathing in and breathing out for one minute in silence.

Another way to help the students calm down is by rehearsing the hymns sung during the Eucharistic Celebration.

During this moment, the priest helps the students and educators to recognize that they are together as a community and to prepare themselves to listen to the Word of God.

The Penitential Act

  • A song that relates to forgiveness can be sung and animated (a leader leads the students)
  • A role-play or mime conveys how good it is to forgive.
  • Images of situations, such as children fighting, someone feeling angry, someone playing on the tablet, and a mum calling the child, and the child disregards.  A student shows the images while another one says a related prayer.
  • Forgiveness prayers, both prepared and spontaneous
  • A song that relates to forgiveness can be sung and animated.
  • A role-play or mime that conveys the message of how good it is to forgive.
  • Images of situations, such as children fighting, someone feeling angry, someone playing on the tablet, and his mum calling him, and he disregards.  A student shows the images, while another one says a related prayer.
  • Short videoclips with forgiveness situations. After every clip the students say: “God forgive us”

The Reading and Gospel Readings

Essentiality to the quality of the proclamation and explanation of the Word of God must be given while the Gospel is always read. The readings must be proclaimed clearly, convincing and not in a hurry. It has to be an experience that helps the participants grow spiritually, so the Word of God must be adapted for the children and adolescents.

Readings

  • Readings can be read in the form of a dialogue between three to five students according to the personalities in the readings/there will also be a narrator.

Responsorial Psalm

  • If the Psalm is included, the responsorial psalm can be sung

Gospel

  • The Gospel can be performed as a role-play or mime while being read by the priest.

Homily

  • After the Gospel, the priest invites the children to stay in a minute of silence, recalling the story they listened to in the Gospel.
  • The priest can call the children to go near him on the altar. He asks them questions about the Gospel and makes up a small discussion.
  • Beforehand, with their educators/parents/guardians, children prepare a craft or drawing related to the Gospel, which they bring to the Holy Mass and explain their projects.
  • Explore the personalities in the Gospel – Who are they?
  • Mention and explain objects mentioned in the Gospel.

Qabel il-Quddiesa

Il-Kattoliċi jitolbu b’ħafna modi differenti b’mod speċjali meta nitolbu flimkien permezz taċ-ċelebrazzjoni tal-Ewkaristija, il-Quddiesa. Fil-Ktieb tal-Atti tal-Appostli u fl-Ittri ta’ San Pawl, insibu l-mod kif l-ewwel komunitajiet Insara kienu jiċċelebraw l-Ewkaristija. F’Ruma, l-ewwel Insara kienu jiċċelebraw il-quddiesa fil-katakombi u jużaw l-oqbra tal-martri bħala artali. B’dan il-mod kienu jfakkru s-sagrifiċċju ta’ Ġesù fuq is-salib u l-Qawmien tiegħu. Il-quddiesa hija ċelebrazzjoni li fiha nkomplu nwettqu l-Aħħar Ċena li Ġesù għamel mal-Appostli qabel ma ngħata għalina u qalilhom: “Agħmlu dan b’tifkira tiegħi.”

Għeluq

Qabel ma’ tibda l-quddiesa, l-animatur jgħin lill-istudenti biex jinġabru kemm minn barra u minn ġewwa. L-animatur jista’ jiggwida lill-istudenti biex joqogħdu bilqiegħda daharhom mas-siġġu, jieħdu nifs bil-kalma u jqattgħu minuta fis-skiet.

Mod ieħor kif jista’ jgħin lill-istudenti jinġabru huwa billi jipprepara magħhom l-kant li ser ikun kantat waqt il-quddiesa.

F’dal-mument, is-saċerdot jgħin lill-istudenti u edukaturi biex jagħrfu li qegħdin miġburin bħala komunità u jippreparaw lilhom infushom biex jisimgħu l-Kelma t’Alla.

L-Att Penitenzjali

  • Tista’ titkanta innu dwar il-maħfra u tiġi animata wkoll. Dan billi jkun hemm xi ħadd immexxi lill-istudenti.
  • Roleplay jew mima fejn joħroġ il-messaġġ kemm hu sabiħ li wieħed jaħfer.

Il-Qari

  • Jista’ jinqara forma ta’ djalogu u jieħdu sehem bejn tlieta u ħamest itfal skont il-personaġġi li jkun hemm fil-qari/ Ikun hemm ukoll in-narratur.

Salm Responsorjali

  • Jekk is-Salm ikun inkluż, il-versett jista’ jitkanta.

L-Evanġelju

  • Jista’ jsir forma ta’ drama jew mima, waqt li jaqrah is-saċerdot.
  • L-istudenti  jkollhom il-qari ttajpjat u wara l-qari jingħataw ftit ħin biex jirriflettu u jimmarkaw liema kelma, frażi jew sentenza laqtithom.

L-Omelija

  • Minn qabel, flimkien mal-edukaturi/ġenituri/kustodji t-tfal jikkrejaw craft jew tpinġija relata mal-Evanġelju, jġibuha magħhom għall-quddiesa u jispejgaw xi jkunu għamlu.
  • Min huma l-personaġġi li jissemmew fl-Evanġelju?
  • Oġġetti li jintużaw fl-Evanġelju
  • Ftit skiet u l-istudenti jaħsbu fuq dak li jkunu għadhom kemm semgħu u jaqsmu dak li laqgħathom.

It-Talbiet tal-Komunità

  • L-istudenti jippreparawhom minn qabel il-quddiesa.
  • It-talbiet ikunu spontanji.
  • Issir bħal polza u jitolbu għal dik il-persuna li jkunu tellgħu isimha.
  • Qabel il-quddiesa jiġu miktuba kategoriji ta’ nies jew sitwazzjonjiet diversi li għalijom nistgħu nitolbu. Qabel jibdew it-talbiet tal-komunità jitqassmu dawn il-karti lill-istudenti. Jingħataw ċans jippreparaw u jiktbu talba , jitpoġġew ġo kannestru u jittellgħu bl-offerti u jintgaħżlu ftit min ikun jixtieq jgħid it-talba.
  • Waqt qed tinqara eż. t-talba għall-Papa, tintwera stampa tal-Papa. L-istudenti jkunu jitilgħu tnejn tnejn għal kull talba.

L-offerti

Mal-ħobż u l-inbid, it-tfal jistgħu jtellgħu oġġetti relatati maż-żmien li fih tkun qed tiġi ċċelebrata l-quddiesa. Xi eżempji:

Fil-Ftuħ tas-Sena Skolastika – basket tal-iskola, l-uniformi, kotba, pocket, kuluri eċċ.

Fil-Qaddisin Kollha – Santi ta’ qaddisin differenti, imbagħad jitqassmu lill-istudenti.

Fl-Avvent – maxtura vojta, qalb (tirrapreżenta l-qalb tal-istudenti u l-edukaturi li qed jippreparaw qalbhom għal Ġesù Bambin), il-girlanda bix-xemgħat, stampa ta’ Marija u Ġużeppi fi Triqthom lejn Betlem, jew jintgħażlu żewġt it-tfal li jirrapreżentaw lil Marija u Ġużeppi u joffru lilhom infushom u s-saċerdot iberikom.

Fil-Milied – Bambini jew presepju, u Bambini żgħar biex imbagħad jitqassmu lill-istudenti. Għal studenti tal-medja u sekondarja jista’ jitqassam ballun tas-siġra tal-Milied b’messaġġ fuqu dwar l-istorja tal-Milied.

Fir-Randan – kuruna tax-xewk, imsiemer, salib, I.N.R.I, il-maktur tal-Veronika, l-ilma li fiha ħasel idejh Pilatu, elmu ta’ suldat. Stampi ta’ persunaġġi mill-passjoni ta’ Ġesù.

Fl-Għid – figolla, bajda, stampa jew kraft ta’ fellus ħiereġ mill-bajda u ta’ farfett, żewġ studenti qed jifirħu flimkien (jirrapreżentaw il-ħajja)

Quddiesa ta’ ringrazzjament għas-sena skolastika – xogħol li l-istudenti jkunu għamlu matul is-sena, ritratti ta’ attivitajiet varji li jkunu saru, oġġetti li għandhom x’jaqsmu mas-Sajf u l-mistrieħ.

F’dal-ħin tal-offeti, l-istudenti jistgħu jarmaw l-artal bid-dvalja bajda, xemgħat, fjuri u oġġetti oħra. Importanti li l-artal mejda jinżamm sempliċi.


It-Talba Ewkaristika

Iċ-ċelebrant jagħżel talba Ewkaristika addattata għall-komunità miġbura speċjalment jekk il-quddiesa hija ċċelebrata mat-tfal u adoloxxenti

Qabel il-mument tal-prefazju, iċ-ċelebrant jista’ jistieden lill-komunità biex jaħsbu f’xi sitwazzjoni, persuni jew xi ħaġa li jixtiequ jirringrazzjaw lil Alla tagħha.

Il-Konsagrazzjoni

Iċ-ċelebrant tajjeb li jagħti ċans lill-istudenti jissetiljaw sakemm jinżlu għarkubtejhom jew jibqgħu bil-wieqfa, skont il-post li jkunu fih. Ftit mumenti ta’ silenzju jgħinu lill-komunità biex tiffoka mill-ġdid qabel is-saċerdot jitlob il-kliem tal-konsagrazzjoni.

Jekk ser nirrispondu għall-akklamazzjoni tal-qassis wara l-konsagrazzjoni, il-kliem tal-innu għandu jixbaħ waħda minn dawn it-talbiet:

Inħabbru l-mewt tiegħek, Mulej, inxandru bil-ferħ il-qawmien tiegħek, nistennewk sa ma tiġi fil-glorja.

jew:

Salvana inti o Salvatur tad-dinja, għax is-salib ul-qawmien u l-mewt tiegħek inti fdejtna.

jew:

Kull darba li nieklu l-ħobż u nixorbu dal-kalċi, inħabbru l-mewt tiegħek, Mulej, sa ma tiġi.


Ir-Rit tal-Paċi

Jitkanta kant addattat u t-tfal jagħtu l-paċi lil xulxin billi jieħdu b’idejn xulxin. Kulħadd jagħti l-paċi lil min ikun ħdejh. Numru żgħir tat-tfal jagħtu l-paċi liċ-ċelebrant, lil Kap tal-iskola/SLT u lil xi għalliema.

Tqarbin

It-Talba ta’ Ringrazzjament wara t-Tqarbin

  • Jistgħu jsiru minn tlett studenti u jkunu ppreparati minn qabel.
  • Spontanji – Is-saċerdot jinżel ħdejn it-tfal u jsaqsihom “Ta’ x’hiex tixtieq tgħid grazzi lil Alla.
  • Jitkanta innu ta’ ringrazzjament.

It-Talba tal-għeluq u s-saċerdot jibgħatna nkomplu ngħixu fil-paċi ta’ Kristu.

Qabel ma jitlob it-talba ta’ wara t-tqarbin, iċ-ċelebrant jista’ jistieden lill-istudenti biex jaħsbu f’xi deċiżjoni jew azzjoni li ser jagħmlu biex jgħixu dak li rċevew fil-quddiesa.
