A. Introduction
a) To the Holy
Mass
Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ,
Good morning!
Welcome to Saint Dominic’s Parish Church for the celebration of
the Sunday Holy Mass. The Holy Mass
which we celebrate this Sunday is offered in honor of the Most Holy Trinity:
God the Father, Creator of all, God the Son, Lord and Savior of humanity, and
God the Holy Spirit, Source of New Life in Christ.
As Christians were born to be God’s children through the Sacrament
of Baptism in the Holy Names of the Three Divine Persons, Father, Son and Holy
Spirit, Christianity is characterized with the faith in and the worship of the
Most Holy Trinity.
We pray fervently in this Holy Mass for the glory of the Triune
God to shine brightly in our lives of loving and serving God and neighbor.
Please all stand for the entrance hymn.
b) To the Readings
- First
Reading Ex 34:4b-6.8-9
The Lord God appeared to
the great Prophet Moses in the time of Exodus and introduced Himself as the
loving and merciful God “slow to anger and rich in kindness and
fidelity.” This one day would inspire Saint John in the New Testament to confidently
write that “God is love.”
- Second
Reading 2 Cor 13:11-13
For Saint Paul, the Most
Holy Trinity is the foundation, inspiration and motivation of the Church’s life
and mission. Sacred Liturgy on earth is the rehearsal and preparation for
heavenly worship of the Triune God.
