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.
Today is the
Second Sunday of Advent, Year B. The
message of the Word of God focus on Saint John the Baptist’s call to people
that the Lord God finally shows His merciful love to those who humbly acknowledge
their sins and sincerely reform their lives.
Sinners
should not lose their patience and hope for forgiveness and salvation, though
sometimes they have to wait longer than expected.
We pray to
the Lord God to grant us the grace of humility and perseverance in order for us
to deserve His saving power.
Kindly all
stand for the entrance Hymn.
b)
To the Readings
-
First Reading Is 40:1-5.9-11
God’s
promises always prove themselves very trustworthy regardless of changes of
time, of place, or of people themselves.
In due time
God sent His spokespersons, the prophets, to reassure humanity that His
promises of salvation would be fulfilled.
-
Second Reading 2Pr 3:8-14
Saint Peter
believes that God’s goodness and patience are big enough to bear man’s hardness
of heart. Repentance of sin and return
to God are valid at any time and at any stage of life.
