Introduction
a)
To the Holy Mass
Dear
Sisters and Brothers,
Good
morning!
Welcome
to Saint Dominic’s Parish Church for the Sunday Holy Mass celebration. Today we celebrate the 20th Sunday
in the Ordinary Time, Year B. The Gospel
story tells us one of the most essential teachings of Christ: the mystery of
the Blessed Sacrament. Christ so loved
us that He gave us His own life—His Body and Blood—for our food in order that
we who partake of this divine meal may have everlasting life.
In
this Holy Mass, we are invited to approach the heavenly Table to receive the
bread of life and the chalice of salvation so as to share in the life of
Christ, our lord and Savior.
Please
all stand for the entrance hymn.
b)
