FiereMargriet Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 I am about to start "remedial" driving lessons--I have my license but haven't driven seriously for almost a year for various reasons. I also get very worked up about driving because of car accidents I have experienced and read about. Today my mom was on the phone with my driving teacher, setting up a lesson for today, but I started yelling and getting angry (which I now regret) because I didn't want to drive. So my mom set up the lesson for tomorrow, but then I regretted my hissy-fit even more because I would have rather gotten it over with today and I don't want my driving stress to invade the Lord's Day. Given the circumstances, would it be sinful or even just not a good idea for me to drive on a Sunday? Please don't advise me to ask a priest; after the above incident I went to Confession only to find that there was no Confession due to a wedding. (Therefore, you're also welcome to speculate if it was a mortal sin for me to have screamed at my mom like that.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theologian in Training Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 (edited) Honestly, I don't understand the difficulty. You can drive on Sundays, sometimes it is necessary to drive to get somewhere. So, I would say it is fine. Indeed, Sunday is to be a day of rest, but sometimes, we have to be careful taking it to the utmost extreme. BTW, just because there was a wedding does not mean you should not seek the advice of a priest. We do have busy schedules, but, normally, weddings end before the beginning of confessions, well, ideally they do. God bless Fr.
