In the Catholic Church, it is expected that individuals fast for at least one hour before receiving Communion, but the Church also recognizes that this is a guideline intended to foster reverence. If someone has not fasted for the full hour, it is not necessarily considered a sin, especially if there were mitigating circumstances. However, it is advisable to approach the sacrament with the proper disposition and respect for the guidelines. Ultimately, it's best to consult with a priest for personal guidance on such matters.

You should not receive during that Mass if you haven't fasted for at least one hour, but make a spiritual Communion.As a sacrifice and to maintain the sacredness of the sacrament, fasting means no food or drink one hour before receiving communion.
