THE NEW TRANSLATION – LORD I AM NOT
WORTHY
As
the
priest
invites
us
to
receive
Holy
Communion,
he
will
say
‘Behold
the
Lamb
of
God’,
rather
than
‘This
is’.
‘Behold’
means
‘to
look
at’
and
is
our
invitation
to
adore
the
Body
and
Blood
of
Christ,
whom
we
are
about
to
receive
in
Holy
Communion.
This
phrase
recalls
two
episodes
recounted
in
St
John’s
Gospel
(1:29‐42
and
19:5).
The
first
comes
near
the
beginning
of
the
Lord’s
public
life,
when
John
the
Baptist
points
Jesus
out,
saying:
“Look,
here
is
the
Lamb
of
God
who
takes
away
the
sins
of
the
world”.
This
phrase
also
recalls
the
scene
during
the
Lord’s
Passion,
when
Pontius
Pilate
draws
attention
to
Jesus
as
he
emerges
having
been
scourged
and
crowned
with
thorns.
Pointing
Jesus
out
to
the
crowd,
Pilate
says,
“See,
the
man.”
Both
these
passages
are
usually
translated
in
English
bibles
as
‘Behold’.
Another
change
in
this
section
is
that
the
priest
will
say,
‘Blessed
are
those
called
to
the
Supper
of
the
Lamb.’
On
the
one
hand,
this
is
simply
a
more
accurate
translation,
but
it
also
draws
out
the
connection
between
the
Sacrifice
of
the
Mass
offered
here
on
earth
and
the
wedding
banquet
of
the
Lamb
to
which
we
are
blessed
to
be
invited
in
heaven
(see
Revelation
5).
108
Finally,
we
are
used
to
saying
‘Lord
I
am
not
worthy
to
receive
you’
...
This
will
change
to:
‘Lord,
I
am
not
worthy
that
you
should
enter
under
my
roof,
but
only
say
the
word
and
my
soul
shall
be
healed’.
This
is
almost
exactly
what
the
Roman
Centurion
said
when
he
came
and
begged
Jesus
to
heal
his
servant:
“Lord
I
am
not
worthy
to
have
you
come
under
my
roof,
but
only
say
the
word
and
my
servant
will
be
healed”
(Matthew
8:8).
Our
new
reply
changes
only
one
word
–
‘servant’
becomes
‘soul’
–
in
the
Centurion’s
speech,
and
the
image
of
the
house
helps
us
to
prepare
our
hearts
and
souls
to
be
worthy
and
welcoming
homes
for
the
Eucharistic
Lord.
door to everyday life closes, and a new one
opens to peacefulness and escape.
The Theme this year is:
“CHRIST OUR HOPE”

and 27th – Friday, Saturday and Sunday
