A. Introduction
a) To the Holy Mass
Dear Sisters and
Brothers in Christ,
Good morning!
Welcome to Saint
Dominic’s Parish Church for the celebration of Sunday Holy Mass.
As we celebrate this
Thirty-first Sunday in the Ordinary Time, Year C, the message of God’s Word
comes to us as a very strongly comforting and inspiring proclamation of God’s
love for those who trust in Him. God
listens to them and will surely answer their prayers.
b) To
the Readings
- First
Reading: Wis 11:22—12:2
The Lord God is great
and powerful but He always loves and cares for all creatures. He blesses the sick, the poor and the
just. He is patient and merciful in dealing
with sinners to save them.
- Second
Reading: 2 Thes 1:11—2:2
Saint Paul urges
Christians to be confident in God’s merciful and powerful love in order to
serve Him faithfully. The saint also
tells his followers not to allow false teachers to deceive them with wrong
doctrine on the second coming of the Lord.
