Prayers are scheduled every Sunday at 9am

Okay, so here's another post I have about religion.

I've been going to mass for my dad practically on a daily basis at 6am at the Mount Carmel Cathedral. I enjoy the early morning masses because it gets my day going. One day I asked my mom if we could attend Sunday mass at 6am instead of 9am and she said we couldn't. Besides the fact that I didn't want to argue with my mom, I just bit my tongue and figured I had to deal with it. Amazingly, she explained why. In Chamorro, she told me that the mass for all the souls who have died is only scheduled for only for the 9am mass on Sunday at the Cathedral.

ME: "But why is it only designated for 9am mass?"

MOM: "Because 9am mass is the misan animas (mass for the spirit of the dead)."

ME: "So you mean to tell me, I can't pray for my dad at 6am mass and only at 9am mass?"

MOM: "No. Ai adai, I don't know why it's like that."

ME: "That's so dumb!"

So apparently, if you didn't get the memo, please note that if you have a family member that recently passed away, you cannot pray for their soul(s) unless you're at the 9am mass at Cathedral. Your immediate cooperation and attention to this matter is greatly appreciated.

GOOD LORD!
