We should rejoice at the opportunity to do something merely inconvenient and we should reject temptations to scrupulosity when we have an "opportunity" to do something that actually we cannot do and therefore are not expected to do. The enemy, if he cannot convince people to believe "I don't ever need to go to Mass", will turn around and try to convince them "I am going to hell if I don't go to Mass although I currently have pneumonia" or similar (and throw in judgment of other people and pride and vanity if scruples are not currently possible); he works both ends of any range.
Exactly so. Keep the very great *gift* to your right and the very light *yoke* to your left (to mix metaphors viciously), and you will not mistake the path by much or for long.
