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 celebrate the 21st Sunday in
the Ordinary Time today, we hear the solemn profession of faith by Saint Peter
and his friends that they put all their trust in Christ, the Lord and Savior
Who alone brings salvation to all humanity.
We
pray in this Holy Mass for the strong confidence in making the disciples’
statement our own. This would greatly
benefit us Christians in a time of crisis, in particular crisis of faith, hope
and love.
Please
all stand for the entrance hymn.
