Roman Catholic AnswerYes, it is a direct violation of the 3rd Commandment, and the First Precept of the Church. If you have missed Mass on a Holy Day of Obligation without a pressing reason, you may not receive Holy Communion until after you have made a good confession to a priest and received absolution.
