Our response, in other words, is intended to orient our thoughts in such way as to help us embrace the breathtaking reality of what is about to take place. While this unusual language may feel uncomfortably distant as compared to the incredible intimacy of Holy Communion as some have noted, it’s important for us to realize that these words are spoken in preparation for the Divine encounter this is not the moment of intimacy itself. Lord, I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof…
We are acknowledging that we’re about to receive Him under the “roof” of our mouths and thus to welcome Him into our physical abode into our bodies, the dwelling place of the soul.
In this instance we are asking the Lord to heal not our servant, but our very soul, our inmost being. This response calls to mind the words that were spoken by the Roman centurion to Jesus when he begged the Lord to heal his sick servant in Matthew 8. “Lord, I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof, but only say the word and my soul shall be healed.”
Our response, however, will undergo a more significant change:
I am jesus christ genres upgrade#
The new translation for the priest refers to “the Lamb’s supper,” language that comes from the Book of Revelation, but one will also notice that “blessed” replaces the adjective “happy ” a noteworthy upgrade with regard to sacred significance that should be apparent to anyone who has ever given their kid a Happy Meal!
