Today, we discuss THE OBLIGATION OF HEARING MASS.

1. Every Catholic is bound, under pain of mortal sin, to hear the whole of one Mass devoutly every Sunday and holyday of obligation.
2. Those persons who could not go to church without great injury to themselves, or who have some urgent work of mercy to perform, are excused from hearing Mass.
3. We have not heard a whole Mass, unless we have been present in the church during the three principal parts of one and the same Mass.
4. Those only can be said to hear Mass devoutly who banish from their mind all that may cause them distraction, and who unite their petitions to those of the priest, especially at the three principal parts of the Mass.
5. It is permissible to assist at the holy sacrifice of the Mass on Sundays and holy days in any church; but it is desirable to go to one's parish church.
6. To hear Mass on week-days, if possible, is a highly com mendable practice, for it may be the means of gaining the greatest graces.
