Introduction
a)
To the holy Mass
Dear
Sisters and Brothers in Christ,
Good
morning!
As we
celebrate the 33rd Sunday in the Ordinary Time, we almost come to
the closing of the Liturgical Year of 2014 and, at the same time, the start of
the new Liturgy for Year 2015.
This is a
moment for us to make an account about our achievements and failings in living
up to our commitment to serving the Lord God and our neighbors.
It is the
quality of our work, however, not its quantity, that matters in the sight of
God.
In this Holy
Mass, we pray hard to God for the grace of prudence and faithfulness in order
to fulfill our calling. Let us just do
our best, and let God care for the rest.
Please all
stand for the entrance hymn.

To the Readings
-
First Reading Prv
31:10-13.19-20.30-31
For a woman, her virtues prevail over her physical
beauty. Good deeds which she has done
for people in need enhance her dignity in the face of her family and
foreigners.
-
Second Reading 1 Thes 5:1-6
Christians do believe that the Lord will come again in glory
to bring an end to this present world torn by all forms of evil. They must, therefore, keep themselves always
watchful for they do not know the day and the time of the Lord’s coming.
