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. As we listen to the Word of God on this
thirteenth Sunday in the Liturgical Year B, we get the very important message
that the Lord Our God is the source and the Giver of life. Suffering and death are not included in the creation
package of man but rather the evil consequences of sin.
God’s
healing and life restoring power, therefore, have been manifested yesterday in
the mission of Jesus Christ and today in that of the Church.
Let
us pray hard in this Holy Mass for both blessings: the healing of our wounded
nature and the new life of our being.
Please
all stand for the entrance hymn.
b)
To the Readings
-
First Reading Wis 1:13-15; 2:23-24
No stronger
evidence could be ever found in
Sacred Scriptures than the truth that God is not responsible for the death of
man. Death, one of the consequences of
sin, is the work of the devil.
-
Second Reading 2 Cor 8:7.9.13-15
Christians
are bound by charity after the example of Christ to share with one another the
blessings either material or spiritual which they have received from God’s
immense love and mercy.
