ISB ~ Matthew 8 v8

Lord, I am not worthy:Demonstrates great faith and humility. Jesus “marveled” (8:10) that such virtue was displayed by a Gentile.

• These words are adapted for use in the Roman liturgy. Unworthy to receive the Eucharist, Christians ask to be cleansed of personal faults and place their faith in the healing power of God’s word (CCC 1386).
