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.
Today we celebrate the 22nd Sunday in the Ordinary Time, Year B.
Christ in the Gospel reading teaches us to worship God not just with words but also with hearts and actions.
In other words, our service of God should not be limited within the church alone, but it needs being extended to all stages of our life, wherever we go and in whatever we do.
We pray hard in this Holy Mass for the gift of living and creative worship of God, our Father in heaven.
Please all stand for the entrance hymn.
