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.
As we celebrate this Sunday the fourth week of Lent, we have made
more than halfway of the Lenten Season observances and are approaching the
climax of our Christian Liturgy: the most solemn celebration of the Lord’s
Rising from death on Easter Sunday.
We pray hard in this Holy Mass for the grace of healing from all
forms of blindness so as to see the right way leading to Christ Jesus, the
Light of the world and the Savior of humankind.
Please all stand and join in the singing of the entrance hymn.
b) To the Readings
-
First Reading 1 Sm 16:1b.6-7.10-13a:
The First Book of the
Prophet Samuel tells us about the reality that we human beings are so biased
that we become blind in judging people and things. God’s judgment remains
always right and just because “man sees the appearance, but the Lord looks into
the heart.”
-
Second Reading Eph 5:8-14:
Saint Paul admonishes
Christians to live “as children of light”, fighting the works of darkness and
producing fruits of goodness.
