(May 20, 2018: The Holy Spirit Choir’s VI Patron Feast Day and Foundation Anniversary)
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 worship.
This Sunday, we celebrate the Pentecost, the descent of the Holy Spirit on
the new-born Church founded by Christ on the fiftieth
day after He rose from the dead.
From that day the Church was officially sent to the mission of preaching
the Good News of salvation to all nations and peoples on earth.
The birthday of the Church today is also the birthday of each and one of us
who were born to new life in Christ by water and the Holy Spirit in the
Sacrament of Baptism.
Today the Holy Spirit Choir also celebrates its sixth foundation
anniversary. Please join the Choir members in offering prayerful hymns of praise and
thanksgiving for the blessing of sacred music with which we united in
Christ and inspired by His Spirit, worship God in strong
faith and burning love.
Kindly all stand for the entrance hymn.
b) To the Readings
- First Reading Acts 2:1-11
The Holy Spirit was sent to all peoples of different languages, religious
and cultural traditions in order to unite them in one faith in Christ and in
one love of God and of one another.
- Second Reading 1 Cor 12:
3b-7.12-13
The Holy Spirit gives new life to Christians and unites them in Christ as
members in His one mystical body, the Church, which He founded.
