A. Introduction
a) To the Holy Mass
Dear
Sisters and Brothers,
Good
morning!
Welcome
to Saint Dominic’s Parish Church for the Sunday Holy Mass celebration. The message of the readings from the Holy
Bible this Sunday tells us about Our Lord Jesus Christ’s preaching of the Good
News of salvation. We need to repent of
our wrongdoings to be worthy of God’s Kingdom.
Unity among believers in Christ is clearly the sign of those already
saved from evil consequences of sin such as rivalries, pride, hatred and
division.
Please
all stand to join in the singing of the entrance hymn.
b) To the Readings
-
First Reading Is
8:23-9:3
Without
the light of divine wisdom, people walk in the darkness of error, fear and
death. Once brought to the radiance of
God’s saving truth they find the way to life ever happy and everlasting.
-
Second Reading 1 Cor 7:10-13
Unity
among Christians has been so vital for the Church founded by Christ since the
early times that Saint Paul urges us to fight against all forms of division no
matter what reason they could have to justify their failure in living up to the
Lord’s burning desire that His disciples be one as the Father and the Son are
one.
