A. Introduction
a) To the Holy Mass
Dear
Sisters and Brothers in Christ,
Good
morning!
Welcome
to Saint Dominic’s Parish Church for our Sunday Holy Mass celebration.
The
Gospel message of this Fifth Sunday in the Ordinary Time, Year A, urges all of
us, Christians, to be the salt of the earth and the light of the world. Salt helps food to be tasty, and thanks to light
eye can see.
We
pray in this Holy Mass that the Lord God bless us with His love and turn us
with His power into instruments of His peace, compassion, mercy, and happiness
in a world still in need of good deeds.
Please
all rise for the entrance hymn.
b) To the Readings
-
First Reading Is 58:7-10
Works
of charity deserve not only God’s blessing but also His healing power bestowed
on those who care for their poor, suffering and less fortunate neighbors.
-
Second Reading 1 Cor
2:1-5
The
Christian message of love would be more effective when it is introduced to the
world not with mere words but in concrete actions of sharing with others what we
have and what we are.
