Hi, guys —

  • If my car was in the repair shop and I missed Mass unintentionally, do I need to go to Confession?

Eric replied:

I would say:

  • If you wanted to go to Mass but were prevented by circumstances beyond your control from attending Mass and sincerely regretted missing Mass from the get-go, there is no mortal sin in that.
  • If it occurred to you to look for alternative transportation, but didn't care, and were pleased to miss Mass, then I would confess it.

Gary replied:

Eric,

I agree with you.  

Thanks for clearing my conscience.

Gary
