Introduction
a)
To the Holy Mass
Dear Sisters
and Brothers in Christ,
Welcome
to Saint Dominic’s Parish Church for the Sunday Holy Mass. Today we celebrate the Second Sunday of
Advent, Year C. The message of God’s
Word enlightens our mind in order that we may know how to prepare the way for
the Lord Who is coming to bring salvation to the human race. There are many things to do, according to
Saint John the Baptist, before we meet the Savior.
Let
us pray hard in this Holy Mass for the blessing of true conversion by rejecting
our past sinful life and accepting the new life in Christ.
Kindly
all stand for the entrance hymn.
b)

come for they were ready to repent of their sins and go back into God’s righteous
way.
-
Second Reading: Phil 1:4-6.8-11
Saint Paul
admonishes Christians as co-workers for the proclamation of the Good News of
