A. Introduction
a) To the Holy Mass
Dear Sisters and Brothers
in Christ,
Good morning!
Welcome to Saint Dominic’s
Parish Church for our Sunday Holy Mass celebration.
The Gospel Message for this
XVII Sunday in the Ordinary Time, Year A, tells us about how the gift of faith
in Christ is so important in our life that we should do our best to look for
it, and once having found it, obtain it with all means, and keep it
carefully.
We pray to the Lord for
the faith in God Who loves us and wants to save us.
Please all stand for the
entrance hymn.
b) To the Readings
- First Reading 1 Kgs 3:5.7-12
King Solomon only prayed
to the Lord God for the gift of wisdom in order to serve the Lord and lead his
people in the right way according to God’s Commandments. The Lord God
granted him a heart so wise and understanding that no one can surpass him.
- Second Reading Rom 8:28-30
Saint Paul teaches that
God grants us Christians the best blessing that we become the image of His
Beloved Son and worthy of eternal life.
