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. We celebrate the Baptism of the Lord Jesus Christ today to mark the start of His mission on earth. God the Father blessed Christ with the recognition that the latter was officially sent to bring the salvation message to humanity. We are thankful to God for the gift of new life through the Sacrament of Baptism. We, too, are officially sent by the Church to bring God’s message of mercy to the world.
We pray in this Holy Mass for the blessing of faith with which we are able to become trustworthy witnesses to Christ’s saving word.
Please all stand for the entrance hymn.
