 Good morning. Hey, my question is, if the liturgy of the Word isn't said at a Sunday Mass, is it still a valid Mass? No. So the only valid Mass, I'm not being glib here, but the only valid Mass would be a valid Mass. Anything else would not be Mass. And there are some situations where the Church foresees maybe a Eucharistic service, perhaps led by a deacon. But those are relatively rare, and they don't count or qualify as a Mass.
