SCRIPTURE COMMENTARY #210
And Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent his friends to him, saying: "Lord, trouble not thyself; for I am not worthy that thou shouldst enter under my roof." (Luke 7:6)
"LORD, I AM NOT WORTHY!" The priest says these words at Mass when he receives Holy Communion. He says them also when he administers Communion to the faithful.
[From 'A Practical Commentary on Holy Scripture' by Bishop Knecht, D.D.] (1899 Douay-Rheims Bible)
