receiving a blessing through TV of live Mass Lynda Thursday, April 17, 2008

Question:

If you are watching a live hook up of a Mass being said, like when the Pope is here in the US and says Mass, can you receive a Papal blessing if you are watching the Mass on live TV?



Question Answered by Bro. Ignatius Mary, OLSM

Dear Lynda:

Yes, when the Pope gives a blessing to the crowd, his intention is that the blessing also applies to those watching on TV and those listening on radio.

This blessing occurs not only if one is watching or listening live, but also if one see the taped version later on TV or listens to the recording later on radio.

God bless,
Bro. Ignatius Mary
