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 observance.
As we celebrate the 26th Sunday in the Ordinary
Time, Year A today, the Word of God reminds us that it is both important, on
the one hand, to listen to what the Lord teaches and to put it in
practice. On the other, we must be
consistent in what we say and in what we do.
We pray to the Lord of love and mercy to bless us in our
endeavor to deserve being called Christians, believers in Christ Who Himself
considers His food to do the will of God the Father.
