The Centurion’s Faith and Holy Communion

In this powerful homily, Fr. Miguel reflects on the beautiful words we say before receiving Holy Communion: “Lord, I am not worthy to have you enter under my roof, but only say the word and my soul shall be healed.” These words come from the Centurion whose great faith amazed Jesus.Fr. Miguel reminds us that receiving Holy Communion requires being in the state of grace — mortal sin is not forgiven by Communion but only through Confession. He also warns against treating Jesus like a “dead object” in the Eucharist, as our Lord once lamented to St. Faustina.With practical wisdom and honesty, Fr. Miguel calls us to approach the Sacrament with lively faith, reverence, and love — just as the Immaculate Heart of Mary received Him. A profound invitation to receive the Lord worthily and let Him be the true treasure of our hearts.
