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. The message of God’s
Word for this Sixteenth Sunday in the Ordinary Time tells us how important it
is to have our actions backed by our prayer.
A life of actions means the service of God through what we do for the
building of the Church which people can see.
A life of prayer helps Christians to establish God’s Kingdom in the
hearts of believers.
We pray hard in this Holy Mass for a good balance in our life
of Christians between action and prayer; serving the Lord and listening to Him.
Kindly all stand for the entrance hymn.
