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. The Gospel for the Fifth Sunday in the
Ordinary Time tells us how the first disciples were called by Christ and how
they reacted to His call. It was the
Lord Who encouraged the fishermen to leave everything behind and go preaching
the Good News of salvation.
We
pray in this Holy Mass for more positive responses from our Christian
communities to the service of God’s Kingdom, in particular in the consecrated
life of religious sisters and brothers, and in the priesthood.
Please
all stand for the entrance hymn.
b)
To the Readings
-
First Reading: Is 6:1-2a.3-8
Acknowledging
his unworthiness and confessing his sinfulness was the reaction by the Prophet
Isaiah to God’s call. The Lord, however,
purified human beings from sin and made them witnesses of His merciful
love.
-
Second Reading: 1 Cor 15:1-11
The Great
Apostle of the Gentiles, Saint Paul, proudly tells us how the love and mercy of
God helped change his life, from being persecutor of the Church to its defender.
