A.
Introduction 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.
We
celebrate this Sunday the fourth and last Week of Advent. Christmas is
coming nearer. The joy of salvation brought by Christ, the Lord and
Savior, is reaching its fullness.
We
pray in this Holy Mass that the Lord God, by putting the finishing touches to
our human efforts in preparation for the birthday of His Son, Our Lord Jesus
Christ, makes us worthy of all heavenly blessings.
Kindly
all stand to sing the entrance hymn.
B. To the Readings
-
First Reading: Is 7:10-14
Exceptional
signs for the coming Savior to be recognized by humanity were foretold by the
Prophet Isaiah: He would be born of a virgin mother and named Emmanuel, meaning
“God Is With Us.” This prophecy has come true when the angel of the Lord
God announced the Good News of Christ’s conception to the Blessed Virgin
Mother.
-
Second Reading: Rom 1:1-7
Saint
Paul in the opening of his letter to the Romans solemnly professes his faith in
Jesus Christ the Lord, true God and true man, Who came to call us from
different parts of the world into the Holy Kingdom of God the Father.
