Introduction:
a)
To the Holy Mass
Dear
Sisters and Brothers in Christ,
Good
morning!
Welcome
to Saint Dominic’s Parish Church for the Sunday Holy Mass celebration. This Sunday is dedicated to honoring Christ,
the Risen Lord as the Good Shepherd Who always feeds His sheep with His Word
and Body and Blood.
We
pray in this Holy Mass for the Church, the flock which Christ so loved that He laid
down His life for their salvation.
We
also pray for the leaders of the Church so that they may strive to become
loving and caring shepherds modeled after Christ.
Please
all stand for the entrance hymn.

To the Readings
-
First Reading: Acts 4:8-12
Through His
Suffering, Death, and Resurrection, Christ, the Risen Lord, has become the
unique source of saving power for humanity of all times. In His Name alone will we all be saved.
-
Second Reading: 1 Jn 3:1-2
In Christ we
receive the grace of being God’s adoptive children. This is already a reality in our everyday
life, but it will fully be revealed one day in heaven.
