When I say receive Him, I mean someone heard the Word, believed in the Word, accepted the Word and had faith in the Word, so someone did receive the Word, Jesus.

It was because of that faith Jesus did enter the home; the was servant healed.

As many have said Jesus didn’t physically enter the centurion’s home, no matter how you phrase it.

not physically no…never said he physically entered the home, but the servant was healed.

Jesus still didn’t enter under the centurion’s roof physically. Similarly we need to be clean in order to receive His Body and Blood.

If you go to an Eastern Catholic Church the prayer is different. Reasoning is different too.

The point I’m saying is that the Church has mandated why we say this prayer. We shouldn’t quibble whether everyone who says it gets a free pass on communion when the Church clearly says no.

I didn’t realize I was quibbling, I thought it was a legitimate question, but if no one knows the answer to why we say the prayer if its not to help us receive the Eucharist, that’s okay, its cool.

thanks anyway.
 
For the forgiveness of venial sins and illumination of mortal sins.
 
And if you hear the Voice of Jesus say, “Your sins are forgiven,” they are forgiven indeed. The Host speaking to you telling you that your sins are forgiven is not the normal means of absolution, but if it happens (and I’m not saying it ever has or ever will), then it is surely true.
 
Thank you, I knew there was a reason. 🙂

Illumination of mortal sins, that is beautiful.

But we should still receive because God said the word and our soul was healed. Freeing us to become one with Him, become part of the covenant and welcomed to the Lord’s table.

From the Catechism of the Catholic Church:

1385 To respond to this invitation we must prepare ourselves for so great and so holy a moment. St. Paul urges us to examine our conscience: “Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of profaning the body and blood of the Lord. Let a man examine himself, and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup. For any one who eats and drinks without discerning the body eats and drinks judgment upon himself.” Anyone conscious of a grave sin must receive the sacrament of Reconciliation before coming to communion. (My emphasis)
