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 24th Sunday in the
Ordinary Time, Year C.
The
message of the Word of God that we are about to listen to tells us the truth
that God is really a loving, merciful and forgiving Father. No matter how many and how serious our sins
are, God remains slow to anger and rich in mercy.
The only
one requirement for us to be worthy of Divine Mercy and Pardon is that we need
to repent of our sins and go back to our God and ask Him for forgiveness,
“Father! Forgive me, for I have sinned against your love!”
Please
all stand and join in the singing of the entrance hymn.
b) To the Readings
-
First Reading (Ex
32:7-11.13-14):
The
Lord God, moved by the suffering of the people of Israel under slavery in Egypt,
delivered them from the hands of their oppressors and led them to the Promised
Land. Against this great love and care,
the people committed the grave sin of idolatry when they made a golden calf and
worshipped it as their lord and savior.
When
the people were about to be severely punished for their ingratitude, the great
Prophet Moses appealed to God for mercy on those sinful children and his pleading
prayer was granted.
-
Second Reading (1 Tim
1:12-17):
Saint
Paul urges his disciple, Bishop Timothy, to be confident in God’s love and
mercy manifested in the Lord Jesus Christ, Who forgave the former’s wrongdoing
before his conversion to the Church.
This should be the very way of life for Christians to follow up in order
to deserve eternal life.
