Mom's Mortal Sin by missing Mass?

[bunnyhacker]

Is it a “mortal sin” to miss Mass because sometimes she wakes up “too tired & achy” for Church. She is 83, has arthritis and has had both knees replaced, uses a walker and/or cane if she leaves the assisted living facility that is her home. What say you?
