Lord Enter Under My Roof

Only say the word and my servant will be healed.

Lord enter under my roof.

Nasb but the centurion said lord i am not worthy for you to come under my roof but just say the word and my servant will be healed. The centurion said in reply lord i am not worthy to have you enter under my roof. Young s literal translation and the centurion answering said sir i am not worthy that thou mayest enter under my roof but only say a word and my servant shall be healed. Only say the word and my servant will be healed.

Just say the word and my servant will be healed. Upon hearing that the lord would come to help him the centurion said in reply lord i am not worthy to have you enter under my roof. Lord i am not worthy to have you enter under my roof. Lord i am not worthy that you should enter under my roof but only say the word and my soul shall be healed as we prepare to receive the holy eucharist at mass we do well to recall this centurion and ask the lord for the grace to imitate his humility and compassion.

Only say the word and my servant will be healed matthew 8 8 this familiar phrase is repeated every time we prepare to go to holy communion. For i am not worthy that thou shouldest enter under my roof. In the gospel of matthew jesus is approached by a centurion who pleads with him to cure his servant. Only say the word and my servant will be healed.

And when he was now not far from the house the centurion sent friends to him saying unto him lord trouble not thyself. Csb jesus went with them and when he was not far from the house the centurion sent friends to tell him lord don t trouble yourself since i am not worthy. When jesus heard this he was amazed and said to those following him amen i say to you in no one in israel have i found such faith you may go. The metaphor of coming under our roof is inexact in fact a terrific understatement but it is right to clothe our thoughts with the prayer of another because otherwise we would be speechless.

As you have believed let it be done for you.
