Introduction
a)
To the Holy Mass
Dear Sisters
and Brothers in Christ,
Good
morning!
As we celebrate the 15th Sunday in the Ordinary
Time, the Lord God calls us up to take part in the building of His Kingdom the
way farmers work on the fields. They
plough the soil, remove grass and rock, sow the seed, and water it in order for
it to grow and bear fruit. The more
hardworking we are, the better the harvest will be.
We pray to the Lord for missionaries who are sowing the seed
of the Gospel in different parts of the world.
May the Holy Spirit open people’s hearts that they readily receive
Christ’s Good News of salvation.
Please all stand for the entrance hymn.

To the Readings
-
First Reading Is 55:10-11
The Word of God that comes forth from Divine Love and Mercy
always brings blessings of truth and life to its recipients the way rain and
snow falling on earth make the soil fertile and the harvest fruitful.
-
Second Reading Rom 8:18-23
It is really hard for Christians to live up to God’s calling
in order to be worthy of their dignity as His adopted children. However, the reward for those faithful to
Christ’s Gospel will be so great that all forms of suffering in this world
cannot be compared with the glory in the world to come.
