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. As we listen to the Word of
God on this thirteenth Sunday in the Liturgical Year B, we get the very
important message that the Lord Our God is the Source and the Giver of
life. Suffering and death are not
included in the creation package of man but rather the evil consequences of sin.
God’s healing and life restoring power, therefore, has been manifested
yesterday in the mission of Jesus Christ and today in that of the Church.
Let us pray hard in this Holy Mass for both blessings: the healing of our
wounded nature and the new life of our humanity.
Please all stand for the entrance hymn.
b) To the Readings
- First Reading Wis 1:13-15; 2:23-24
No stronger evidence could be ever found in Sacred Scriptures than the
truth that God is not responsible for the death of man. Death, one of the consequences of sin, is the
work of the devil.
- Second Reading 2 Cor 8:7.9.13-15
Christians are bound by charity after the example of Christ to share with
one another the blessings either material or spiritual which they have received
from God’s immense love and mercy.
