Bit of a dilemma

[dolphinlove]

Hi Everyone,
I missed the ash wednesday mass this morning

And the only masses available to go to tonight is at 7pm.
I cant find a parish that has a 6pm mass…
The problem is, im doing a course tonight for St Vinnies (help homeless people etc) and it begins at 7pm.
Will God forgive me if I miss the ash wednesday mass.
Please pray for me making the decision to go to this course.
I cant really do it any other time and i especially took the night off work to go to it.
Please help

Today is Tuesday. Ash Wednesday is tomorrow. It is not a Holy Day of Obligation so you have committed no sin.

You can still make it tomorrow if you want to .

My guess is that this person lives overseas where it is already tomorrow…

Ash Wednesday is not a Holy Day of Obligation as far as I am aware. Just a day of Fast and Abstainence, although, obviously, it is a good day to try and get to Mass.

Don’t worry about it. There’s nothing to forgive.
