Why do we have Children's Liturgy of the Word?

Children have the right to hear what God has to say to them. They have the right because they have been baptized. God wants to speak to children as well as to adults. The problem is that in our liturgy, the Scriptures are proclaimed in adult language which children cannot comprehend. This celebration with children will enable them to discover and recognize themselves in the story proclaimed in the Gospel. When they make the discovery from within their experience, they can then thank, and praise, and bless God in their daily lives and cling to our faith in their times of need.
