Introduction
a)
to
the Holy Mass
Dear Sisters and Brothers,
Good morning!
Welcome to Saint Dominic’s Parish Church for the Sunday
Holy Mass celebration.
As we celebrate the Second Sunday of Advent today, the
message of repentance loudly proclaimed by Saint John the Baptist urges
Christians to make a change of their lives so that we may be worthy of the
Savior’s salvation when He comes.
We pray in this Holy Mass to the Lord God for the grace
of conversion of heart as the starting point of the renewal of our lives, and
also that of the whole human family.
Kindly all stand for the entrance hymn.
b) to
the Readings
- First Reading Is 11:1-10
The Prophet Isaiah introduces to the world the upcoming
Savior Who is anointed with the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit, and Who will in
turn grant these gifts to those ready to welcome Him.
- Second Reading Rom 15:4-9
For Saint Paul the Christian community may bear witness
to the coming of Our Lord Jesus Christ when its members live up to the spirit
of charity present in what they think, speak and do.
