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 are coming to
the end of the liturgical year, the message of God’s Word reminds us of the
true meaning of our life and so it helps us to adjust our concept on material
needs and our use of properties.
Too much dependence on money and power may cause us to run
the danger of losing not only good relationship with our friends but also
eternal happiness with God.
Let’s us pray in this Holy Mass for the gift of wisdom in
rightly dealing with earthly comforts so as to obtain heavenly reward.
Kindly all stand for the entrance hymn.
