 The reason I ask is because this last Sunday, sadly, a priest died at another parish, and the priest, the pastor, at the beginning of the Mass gave a really nice eulogy, and he mentioned the readings a little bit, but then he went right from there into the prayer of the faithful, then right into the Mass. He didn't do the, there were no first readings, second readings, and so I was just wondering if that made it a valid Mass. Oh.
