I know that the 3rd commandment tells us to keep the Lord’s day holy. Can someone tell me other then that where does it say that missing Sunday Mass is a mortal sin? I can’t find it in the documents of the 2nd Vatican Council. God Bless all
 
From the Catechism of the Catholic Church # 2175

Sunday is expressly distinguished from the sabbath which it follows chronologically every week; for Christians its ceremonial observance replaces that of the sabbath. In Christ’s Passover, Sunday fulfills the spiritual truth of the Jewish sabbath and announces man’s eternal rest in God. For worship under the Law prepared for the mystery of Christ, and what was done there prefigured some aspects of Christ:107

Those who lived according to the old order of things have come to a new hope, no longer keeping the sabbath, but the Lord’s Day, in which our life is blessed by him and by his death.
