A. 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 Eighteenth Sunday in
Ordinary Time, year C, the Message of God’s Word brings strong hope for Divine
Justice to those who suffer from many and different forms of injustices in
today’s society where greed for power and money has blinded people’s
conscience.
We
pray hard in this Holy Mass for the grace of right understanding that human
persons are called to wisely use material things on earth as just means in
order to achieve the essential end of our life that is eternal happiness in
God’s Kingdom.
Please
all stand for the entrance hymn.

First Reading: Eccl 1:2; 2:21-23

generations, the Bible reminds us that all peoples and things are passing away,
and that the Lord God alone always stays in full power and authority as Creator
of the universe and Master of humanity history.
-
Second Reading: Col 3:1-5.9-11
Those who were
raised through the Sacrament of Baptism to new life in Christ should live in
