That’s wonderful! I’m so glad you were able to find a Catholic church and attend Mass. Please tell us your wife and children were able to go too! 🙂

I, also, hope you did not go alone, but, I will bet you feel better for having gone. Good for you! Easter Vigil is such a moving Mass.

We are still in the Octave of Easter, so, Happy Easter!! 🙂

God bless,
Linda
 
I have a question that is somewhat related to the OP. As many of you are aware, if a person cannot attend the Good Friday liturgy, praying Vespers on that day satisfies the Good Friday obligation. Does the same hold true for Sundays (and solemnities?). There are some Sundays where it is not possible to fulfill my Sunday obligation. Does praying the Sunday Office satisfy the Sunday/Holy Day obligation?

Good Friday is not a holy day of obligation. You do not need to do anything as obligation. For Sundays, you must attend a Catholic Mass (on holy days of obligation as well), if possible. If there be no Masses within a reasonable distance, the obligation is dispensed. The same for reasons of illness, looking after the ill or any other justifiable reason.

The Divine Office is an extention of the Mass is the sense that it gives praise to God continually. However it is not a subsistute for the Sacrifice of the Mass.
