From a reader…
QUAERITUR:
I have a couple of questions regarding something that happened recently at a weekday TLM. Our good and reverent priest was distracted during Mass one morning and completely forgot to consecrate the Precious Blood. After consecrating the host, he genuflected, and then continued on with the prayers after Consecration. My 12 year old son happened to be serving. I have two questions… was the Mass valid? And should the altar boys have, somehow, alerted the priest to his mistake as soon as they realized he had missed part of the Consecration?
