Summary

Who was the Roman Centurion? What makes his words so remarkable that they amazed Jesus and now precede the most important moment in Mass—the reception of Jesus’ body into our own bodies? Dr. Sri reveals how this surprising figure of faith and humility models the way we should approach our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in Holy Communion—and in all that we do.

Snippet from the Show
"When you approach the Sacrament of the Eucharist with great humility, realizing your utter unworthiness, you have the opportunity to throw yourself into the Father's arms and entrust yourself to his incredible mercy."
