Here’s my situation, I left to the airport today thinking in the back of my mind that I could just hit 5:00 mass at my destination. It wasn’t till I was in the security line looking at my flight info (at around 10:55) that I realized I wouldn’t be getting home till 6:55. By this time there would be no masses available to me. My question is this: Is this a mortal sin? I know my situation has met the first 2 requisites (Grave matter, I know it’s grave matter) but I would like to hear if it meets the third requisite (freely choosing to do it).

A little bit of info
-I’ve looked everywhere for a mass at my destination but no one offers a mass past 6:00.
-I felt so sure that I would be back in time that I felt as if I didn’t even need to check.
  • And of course, I would never have wanted this to happen.
Thanks, God bless.
 
I’m not even sure that it’s grave matter. God doesn’t ask the impossible. If you can’t go, you can’t go. Definitely not a mortal sin since you’re not intentionally blowing off going to Mass, you’re just legitimately unable to go due to circumstances. Be at peace.

Travelers are generally exempt from Mass as a matter of course. You have nothing to worry about.
