XXVI Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year A (October 1, 2017)


A.    Introduction

a)     To the Holy Mass

Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ,

Good morning!

Welcome to Saint Dominic’s Parish Church for our Sunday Holy Mass observance.

As we celebrate the 26th Sunday in the Ordinary Time, Year A, the Word of God reminds us that it is both important, on the one hand, to listen to what the Lord teaches and to put it in practice.  On the other, we must be consistent in what we say and in what we do.

We pray to the Lord of love and mercy to bless us in our endeavor to become authentic Christians, true believers in Christ Who Himself considers His food doing the will of God the Father.  
  
b)    To the Readings

-         First Reading Ez 18:25-28

The Prophet Ezekiel describes the Lord God as the just and fair Master Who deals with humans in accordance with His law of great justice and boundless mercy.

-         Second Reading Phil 2:1-11

The summit of the Christian Way of Life, according to Saint Paul, is to become conformed to the image of Christ in the service of God and of neighbors, even at the cost of suffering and death.

XXV Sunday in Ordinary Time-Year A (Sep 24, 2017)


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 come on this 25th Sunday to worship God, Our heavenly Father, we listen to His call urging each and one of us to work for His Kingdom.
The focal point of this Sunday message, to our big surprise, is not about how much we have contributed in God’s project, but rather about how generously God treats all of us, His children.
We thank the Lord God for the honor to take part in the building of His Kingdom by accomplishing our everyday responsibilities, looking for not ours but His great glory.
Please all stand for the entrance hymn.     

b)   To the Readings
-       First Reading: Is 55:6-9
Confronting God’s love and mercy, man’s wrongdoings of different forms and natures cannot cause any trouble to prevent saving power from reaching sinners, only if they repent of their sins and turn to Him.   
-       Second Reading: Phil 1: 20c-24.27  
Between worshipping God and serving neighbors, Christians should find a close interrelation and interaction.  In the Last Judgment, Christ acknowledges good deeds done to those in needs as being done to Himself.

Let us pray hard in this Holy Mass for the blessing of being willing to forgive those who hurt us.

Please all stand for the entrance hymn.

Not according to our sins does he deal with us,

Người không chấp tranh triệt để, cũng không đời đời giữ thế căm hờn. Người không xử với chúng tôi như chúng tôi đắc tội, và không trả đũa theo điều oan trái chúng tôi.R.

For as the heavens are high above the earth,
so surpassing is his kindness toward those who fear him.
As far as the east is from the west,
so far has he put our trans - gres - sions - from us. R
Nhưng cũng như trời xanh cao vượt trên trái đất, lòng nhân hậu Người còn siêu việt hơn thế trên kẻ kính sợ Người. Cũng như từ đông sang tây xa vời vợi, Người đã ném tội lỗi xa khỏi chúng tôi. R.

A Great Debt of Gratitude
(see Mt 18:15-20)

Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ,

Saint Paul, in the Second Reading, taken from the Letter to the Romans, gives us Christians his morally profound advice that we should owe nobody anything except a great debt of gratitude.

We, as children, owe our parents a great debt of gratitude for the gift of life.  This is a happy life in a loving and caring family.  It is in this family that we have grown up and become fully human, fully conscious of our dignity as human persons, enjoying our rights and duties.

The most significant among human rights is the right to religious freedom, freedom to worship God, our Creator and Savior.  The worship of God is the very human act of profound gratitude to the Father in heaven Who made us in His image and Who saved us from sin and death by sending Jesus Christ His Beloved Son to suffer and die on the Cross and rise to life again.

Our duties mean that we are responsible for what we owe to God, to our friends and to society.  We are duty-bound to render the best service of God, of family and of society.  We should be committed citizens in the building of the kingdom of the earth, making it a clean and green home for the human family to live in.  We should also be active builders of the kingdom of heaven where all peoples come and sing praises to God for ever for His great merciful love.

We are also duty-bound to help one another in living up to our Christian moral life.  This duty consists of the two missions: first, the proclamation of Gospel-based values of which love is the heart and the soul; and second, the denunciation of all forms of violation of these values.

“Charity begins from home”, this means that we are charity-bound to proclaim Gospel-based values to our sisters and brothers, and to denounce wrongdoings that happen in our Christian family and community.

Correction of sisters and brothers who have done something wrong should not be merely angry or vindictive reactions, but it should on the contrary be an act of good intention to bring the wayward members back to God, and to the community.

Even when we have failed in our efforts to help our sisters and brothers to admit their wrongs and to repent of their sins, we should not cease praying for them and entrust them to the merciful love of God.

We just try to do our best and let the Lord God do the rest. Amen.        

Fr. Francis Nguyen Van Nhut, O.P.

Twenty-third Sunday in Ordinary Time – Year A (September 10, 2017)


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 23rd Sunday in the Ordinary Time, Year A.
This Sunday’s Gospel teaches us Christians how to practice charity in everyday and real life.  True love does not allow us to ignore the demand of justice, otherwise it becomes blinded love.  Justice worthy of its name should not be deprived of love if people do not want inhuman justice.
We pray hard in this Holy Mass to God for people in all over the world so that they may live together in peace and love, and settle their problems also in peace and love, being firmly convinced that only the power of God’s love can bring true and lasting peace.
Please all stand for the entrance hymn.

b.      To the Readings

-          First Reading Ez 33:7-9

Charity urges a person to bring back to God’s saving love his or her friend who did something morally wrong.  He or she will be responsible for not doing so if the sinner dies in sin.  When he or she has done their best to help the sinner, yet the latter refuses to repent, they are not held guilty for the loss of their friend.

-          Second Reading Rom 13:8-10

Charity is so meaningful and important for Christians that Saint Paul seems to be delighted that they become one another’s debtors in terms of love.
