Question
True or false, when traveling out of town, we are excused from Sunday Mass Obligation?
Thank you for your reply.
False. First of all, why in the world you look at worshipping your Lord and Creator on the Lord's Day an "obligation"? You should consider it a privilege, one that you desire with all your heart. You have 168 hours a week. Can you not wait even one hour with the Lord -- willingly, happily?
