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.
This Sunday, we solemnly celebrate Christ The King Sunday,
honoring the kingship of Christ. Unlike
kings in the history of humanity who build their kingdom with much blood of
victims killed in power disputes, Christ our Lord established His Kingdom by
shedding His own blood as a sin offering to free humankind from death. Unlike kingdoms on earth which force people
to serve those on top, Christ’s Kingdom urges those on top power to serve the
people after the example of Christ the King Who came not to be served but to
serve and lay down His life for the salvation of the people.
Let us pray hard in this Holy Mass for the coming of the
Kingdom of Christ, Who is the will take us into His Reign of love, peace and
everlasting happiness.
Kindly all stand for the entrance hymn.
