homeschoolmom Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 Pfft... I asked this question months ago. : We'll probably be going to 9 am and 3 pm masses on Sunday... But my next question is... what about the following weekend? Monday, Jan. 1 is another HDO. So, we can go Sunday morning for Sunday and Sunday evening for the Vigil for Monday?

littleflower+JMJ Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 our priest has been hammering it into our heads to those who might not know about the twice in less than 24 hours of going to mass since it might be a new one for them lol. "Its not going to hurt you people" (those who barely make it for Sunday mass) is what he's trying to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] "its okay, you're going to live" is the official diagnosis since some don't know its possible or permissable to go to mass more than once a week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homeschoolmom Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 Oh no... ours was more along the lines of our priest trying to soften the blow of the fact that people HAVE to go twice... without trying to sound too bossy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, it usually is, but just isn't this year...? [/quote] Right, because it is on a Monday...according to the bishops if a Holy Day falls on Saturday or Monday the obligation is "abrogated." It is silly, in my opinion, but that is the way it is on the books right now. Maybe it will change with my bishop in charge, since I know he says Mass everyday and encourages all priests to do the same...even on their day off BTW, here is the direct quote from that link above: [i]Whenever January 1, the solemnity of Mary, Mother of God, or August 15, the solemnity of the Assumption, or November 1, the solemnity of All Saints, falls on a Saturday or on a Monday, the precept to attend Mass is abrogated.[/i] God Bless Edited December 21, 2006 by Theologian in Training Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
