One should be very diligent in making sure to recite Krias Shema each morning and evening before the end of the proper z’man. The Gemara in Mes. Chagigah says regarding one who fails to say Shema in its proper time: “Meuvas Shelo Yuchal Liskon” – A transgression that cannot be corrected. (Shulchan Aruch w/Mishnah Berurah 58, Mes. Chagigah 9a, Piskei Tshuvos 58:1)
This very harsh description is only found in Chazal regarding three things; One who sins with an illicit woman resulting in the birth of a Mamzer; One who separates himself from Torah; and One who fails to recite Shema on time. S’U Kinyan Torah 7:7
