A. Introduction
a) To the Holy Mass
Dear
Sisters and Brothers in Christ,
Good
morning!
Welcome
to Saint Dominic’s Parish Church for our Sunday Holy Mass celebration. Today, we celebrate the Thirteen Sunday in
the Ordinary Time, Year C.
The
Lord God has repeatedly called us to work for the building of the Kingdom of
God. Each and one of us has a mission
assigned by the Lord. We cannot
accomplish our duty as both individual and community unless we cling to the
Lord and ask Him for assistance, guidance and wisdom.
We
pray hard in this Holy Mass for all of us to become witnesses of God’s love and
mercy.
Kindly
all stand for the entrance hymn.
