Day 29: Lord, I Am Not Worthy, But Only Say the Word

Do you want to amaze Jesus with your life? This moment in the Mass gives us a clue on how. The only instance of Jesus being “amazed” in Matthew’s Gospel is in the story of the Roman Centurion’s great faith, words we repeat each Mass: “ Lord, I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof, but only say the word, and my soul shall be healed.” Dr. Sri breaks down why this moment, and this man’s faith, were so incredible that we say these words every Sunday.
