Question about Mass

[marcaevans]

I have a question. Say that I am unable to attend Mass for some reason during the week, I know EWTN has a Mass at midday our time. Would it count if i were to participate in the Mass at home as I would in Mass?

Watching a televised Mass would not fulfill an obligation, but weekdays are not days of obligation. Watching a televised Mass can, however, be extremely beneficial.

One is only obliged to attend mass on Sundays and holy days. If however one is unable to attend mass due to illness or other rare instances, there is an automatic dispensation.

2192 “Sunday… is to be observed as the foremost holy day of obligation in the universal Church” (CIC, can. 1246 § 1). “On Sundays and other holy days of obligation the faithful are bound to participate in the Mass” (CIC, can. 1247).

You can get an exemption from your priest when you travel or you cannot go to mass for some reason. Watching on TV is great if you cannot go but i don’t think it count.

Blessings!

And if you’re watching the Mass live (not a rerun) the priest’s blessing is extended to you
