Students discuss and identify how Jesus treated everyone with love and kindness, regardless of their differences. He showed his followers that they too
should love everyone individually. In order to achieve this Jesus draws them closer to himself and to others, through the Eucharist.
Students recognise that Jesus calls them to receive him in Holy Communion. Through this Jesus is showing how close he wants to be with each of them.
Students recognise how Jesus changes the bread and wine into his Body and Blood during each Mass and He draws together all who receive him in Holy
Communion. Students compare the symbolism of the bread and wine to many people forming one body and recognise that Catholics celebrate the Eucharist
as God’s Family. The more frequent they celebrate the Eucharist, the more God’s family are helped by Jesus to love others are they love themselves,
regardless of physical and cultural differences. Students continue to remember that Jesus strengthens his followers to love every human individual regardless
of physical differences.

Gospel Acclamation:
Alleluia, alleluia!
Christ the king will reign forever.
Alleluia!
Gospel: Matthew 25:31-46 (The king will judge all nations).
A reading from the holy Gospel according to Matthew.
Response: Glory to you, O Lord.
Jesus said, “When the Son of man comes as king and all the angels with him, he will sit on his royal throne, and the people
of all the nations will be gathered before him. Then he will divide them into two groups just as a shepherd separated the
sheep from the goats. He will put the righteous people on his right and the others on his left. Then the king will say to the
people on his right, “Come, you that are blessed by the Father! Come and posses the kingdom which has been prepared for
you ever since the creation of the world. I was hungry and you fed me, thirsty and you gave me a drink; I was a stranger and
you receive me in your homes, naked and you clothes me; I was sick and you took care of me, in prison and you visited me.’
“The righteous will then answer him, ‘When, Lord, did we ever see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you a drink?
When did we ever see you’re a stranger and welcome you in our homes, or naked and clothe you? When did we ever see
you sock or in prison, and visit you?’ The King will reply, ‘I tell you, whenever you did this for on of the least important of
these brothers of mine, you did it for me!’
“The he will say to those on his left, ‘Away from me, you that are under God’s curse! Away to the eternal fire which has
been prepared by the Devil and his angels! I was hungry but you would not feed me, thirsty but you would not give me a
drink; I was a stranger but you would not welcome me in your homes, naked but you would not clothe me; I was sick and in
prison but you would not take care of me.’
“Then they will answer him, ‘When Lord, did we ever see you hungry or thirst or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and
would not help you?’ The King will reply, ‘I tell you, whenever you refused to help one of these least important ones, you
refused to help me.’ These, then, will be sent off to eternal punishment, but the righteous will go to eternal life.”
The Gospel of the Lord.
