A. Introduction
a) To the Holy Mass
Dear Sisters and Brothers
in Christ,
Good morning!
Welcome to Saint Domominic’s Parish Church for the celebration of the
Sunday Holy Mass. Today we celebrate the
Thirtieth Sunday in the Ordinary Time, Year C.
The message of God’s Word strengthens our faith in the Lord God that He
always hears our prayers. Christians
pray not only to ask the Author of all goodness for the needs, both material
and spiritual, in their life, but also and above all to obtain from Him Who is
love the willingness to go back to Him if lost in falsehood and sin, and the perseverance
to remain in His saving power.
Please all stand for the entrance hymn.
b) To the Readings
-
First Reading: Sir
35:12-14.16-18
God always listens to His children’s cries and will surely answer them
in due time. The poor, the suffering,
the widows and the orphans, get God’s first priority concern.
-
Second Reading: 2
Tim 4:6-8.16-18
Saint Paul compares
the Christian journey to holiness with a race competition. Only those determined and persevering in all
difficulties can win.
