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. Today we celebrate the fourth and last Sunday
in the Advent Season. As we have
accomplished the four weeks long preparation for the Birthday of Christ, we
thank God for the blessing of His merciful love with which He forgave our sins
and granted us new life in His Son.
Let
us together with Saint Elizabeth and the baby in her womb go out to meet
Christ, still an infant in the womb of the Blessed Virgin Mother, and greet
Him: “You are the Lord and Savior of the world!”
Please
all stand for the entrance hymn.
