A. 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 on the twenty-second week in the Ordinary Time, Year C.
The Gospel message for this Sunday tells us to show true
humility—meaning to say, to be humble from inside, from the heart, in dealing
with people, aware that God alone deserves all glory, praise and honor because
He is the Lord of heaven and earth, the Master of history, the Savior of
humankind.
People love social status, wealth and fame too much that they
often dispute, fight and kill one another.
However, only when we are evaluated by God, can we be proud of who we
really are.
This Sunday, we pray for the following two important
intentions: first, we pray for Miss
Therese Lilian Stephani Lie who is about to receive the three Sacraments of
Christian Initiation, namely Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist. May she feel happy to become a sister of the
family of God’s children and proud of her new life in Christ Jesus, the Lord of
all and Savior of humanity.
Today we also thank the Lord God for the 11th
foundation anniversary of Saint Dominic’s Church. May the God shower His abundant blessings on
those who come into His House of prayer for worship and thanksgiving.
Please all stand for the entrance hymn.
