Brother Adam Posted August 8, 2004 Share Posted August 8, 2004 Is it a mortal sin if one completely unintentionally sleeps through mass and there is no other mass available to them to go to? Especially if they were looking foreward to mass and are kicking themselves for sleeping in late? This happened to me this morning. Thankfully there is a mass this evening at another church we are going to. But I"m wondering... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fiat_Voluntas_Tua Posted August 8, 2004 Share Posted August 8, 2004 I always at least set one alarm when I am getting up and going straight to Mass. Ave Maria, Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Adam Posted August 8, 2004 Author Share Posted August 8, 2004 I had an alarm set for 8:30 (mass is at 10:30 - I like to do devotions before hand). I woke up with the alarm and then thought to myself - I'll just lay here for 10 minutes and wake up. lol. Oops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homeschoolmom Posted August 8, 2004 Share Posted August 8, 2004 If you have small children, this almost never happens-- although parents of small children are among the most sleep deprived people I know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DancesforLove Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 I have to agree with what was said above, you didn't intend to you were looking forward to it so I would say not a mortal sin and just an honest accident. I'd recommend setting an alarm though to prevent have to kick yourself so much in the future! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
