Introduction
a)
To the Holy Mass
Dear Sisters
and Brothers in Christ,
Good
morning!
Welcome to
Saint Dominic’s Parish Church for the Sunday Holy Mass celebration. This Sunday we celebrate the Epiphany of the
Lord, also popularly known as the Three Kings Sunday.
“Epiphany”
in Greek means the apparition or revelation of the Lord God to all peoples and
nations. Indeed, with the Coming of
Christ in human nature, we can now see, hear, and touch the Lord God Who was
from eternity unseen, unheard, and untouched.
In this Holy
Mass, we are invited, as the shepherds and the three wise men were, to approach
the new-born Baby, and thanks to the light of the star of our faith, recognize
Him as the Savior of the world, and worship Him as the loving and merciful God.
Please all
stand for the entrance hymn.
