| Matthew 8:8 | And the centurion making answer, said: *Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldst enter under my roof: but only say the word, and my servant shall be healed. Luke 7:6. | Origen says, when thou eatest and drinkest the body and blood of our Lord, he entereth under thy roof. Thou also, therefore, humbling thyself, say: Domine, non sum dignus; Lord, I am not worth, etc. So said St. Chrysostom in his mass, Litturg. Groec. sub finem; and so doth the Catholic Church say at this day in every mass. (See St. Augustine, Ep. cxviii. ad Janu.) (Bristow) --- See Luke 7:6. |
