Daily service?

Catholics have the daily Mass, and today at Mass I was wondering if all Apostolic Churches do this too.

 

[Ave Maria]

Unfortunately all the churches in my area that have daily mass (or communion service) are too far for me to drive there on a daily basis.

Unfortunately I believe the answer is no.

My denomination does offer daily Mass, and where there is no Priest or Bishop available, lesser Clergy (Deacons, Sub-Deacons, etc.) will do the Divine Office.

As an ordained Cleric, I am required to do the Hours of Prime and Compline everyday (and Lauds if I can manage to get up early enough!).

 

[Akathist]

Large monestaries or cathedrals might do daily Divine Liturgies but I am not aware of any near me that do.

The monestary locally has Divine Liturgy on Wednesday and Friday's as well as Sunday. (Except of course during Lent when the DL is only done on Sunday's with presanctified services being done in the evenings on Wednesday and Friday eves.)

The local monestary does have prayer services in the morning and evening that people outside the monestary can attend.

 

[Secundulus]

We have Mass on all Holy days of obligation, usually 2 to 3 times a week. The week of Christmas we are having mass on six days.

 

[prodromos]

In Greece during Lent and Advent there are services every day while in the monasteries they are right throughout the year. In Australia where there is not the same density of Orthodox Christians, it is usually not feasible to have services every day.

You are indeed blessed.

 

[WarriorAngel]

Yes, I suppose I took daily Mass for granted.

Not many folks show up, but it is gr8 to have that opportunity.

BC [before children] I went every day when I lived in the city. However; moving into the rural area... it changed due to gas prices and distance.

What I would love for the drop in prices...

I am trying to discern what small similarities we all have.

However; we are not obligated but 8 days a year outside fo Sunday's and this Saturday is a Day of Obligation.

Iwas actually surprised at how many do show up at my parish for daily Mass...I myself don't go daily, but when I've gone there were quite a number there, especially on First Fridays......It's comforting to know that the Church is open after Mass so that people can pray all day long too!!
I can't tell you how many times I've been in despair and just went to and prayed in the Church

 

[Mary of Bethany]

Most of the Orthodox parishes I'm familiar with will offer Divine Liturgy maybe one or two weekdays regularly. Mine offers very early Monday DLs (6:00am!) and mid-morning Thursday DLs.

Obviously, there are lots of Feast Days throughout the year when Liturgy is celebrated. And I love Lent, when we have the Liturgy of the Pre-Sanctified Gifts on Wednesdays and Fridays.

[WarriorAngel]

I agree, going as often as we can certainly is awesome. Even if only a few times a week, having this gets us thru a week.

I really miss daily Mass. ...since the gas thing.

Maybe you could find a car-pool to share the expense.

Have you seen the High Solemn Rorate Mass in the extraordinary form on TV yet? It's amazing!

I want to run out and learn Latin asap.

Peace.

EWTN has daily mass and I think they might have it on their web page too. It is not the same as attending but it is a substitute that is better then none.

Where I live the EO parishes are very small. We have 30 families at ours. The other one near me is not many more then this. The local monestary is also small ... I don't know how many live there but I am guessing maybe 12 women. But they don't have a full time Priest. The one Priest who is there all the time has health problems. He doesn't do a DL by himself anymore.

When I was going to convert to the Catholic Church (before I even visited an EO parish), I went to daily mass during the week but I didn't go to the Sunday Mass. I liked the quiet and small services best. I used to go half an hour early to just sit in the church and think and pray. I can certainly understand why you like daily Mass.

 

[Anglian]

With our Liturgy of St. James lasting for 2 hours, preceded by half an hour for the Raising of Incense, it would be impractical to have a daily Liturgy outside of our Cathedrals! Remember too that Orthodox services involve very little sitting down by anyone! (The old ladies are always the toughest here, putting many men to shame).

In most Coptic Churches the Liturgy is that of St. Basil in a mixture of Coptic and Arabic, and it can last even longer than the St. James. Doing one of those every day would put quite a strain on the priest.

How long do the daily Catholic masses last?

How long do the daily Catholic masses last?

The TridentineLatinMass is closer to 2 hrs (last one I saw was 1:45 but had 5 priests and 2 deacons) or I could see where it could be more if fewer Ministers are in attendance and the NO is usually an hour or more depending on the homily or feast day practices. Last Sunday I noticed the NO Liturgy I attended went well over an hour. As I was leaving I looked at my watch and it was 20 past the hr. Weekday Masses are often shorter in length because the number of commincants are less so doesn't take as long. However in many Parishes its preceeded with the liturgy of the hours or followed with the Rosary which will add another 30 minutes time.

I have been part of Novus Ordo masses where baptisms and chrismations take place or at places of pilgrimage with many concelebrants and communicants that last well over 2 hrs though.

Usually Easter is longer but I think the efficacy and grace imparted by the sacraments is the same regardless of the amount of time standing.

Peace.

I've rarely seen a standard TLM last two or more hours and I used to attend one every week.

Yea, my bad, should have said 1:45. That was the time of the last one I saw. I have a habit of rounding up.

 

[SpiritualAntiseptic]

Umm, my parish gets through the daily TLM in about 20 minutes.

Generally between 20 and 30 minutes for the newer Mass.

The old low Mass will last about 20 minutes.

Actually in my area [very rural] only 10% of the population is Catholic [county wide]. And they live near either of the two Churches closest in my county.

I do not know anyone who lives near me to be Catholic.

It is so peaceful attending daily Mass. I should watch EWTN... but i especially like receiving the Eucharist.

Daily Mass can be anywhere from 20-40 minutes.
