“Lord, I Am Not Worthy” — Faith, Humility, and Healing | 3rd Sunday After Epiphany

About this sermon

On the Third Sunday after Epiphany, the Holy Gospel according to St. Matthew presents two profound miracles performed by Our Lord Jesus Christ: the healing of a man afflicted with leprosy, and the miraculous cure of the Roman centurion’s servant, who suffered from paralysis. Both men approach Christ with deep humility, fully aware of their unworthiness — yet filled with unwavering faith. The leper adores Christ, recognizing Him as true God and true Man, while the centurion utters the timeless words now echoed in the Holy Mass: “Lord, I am not worthy that Thou shouldst enter under my roof, but only say the word and my servant shall be healed.” In this sermon, we reflect on: The relationship between faith and humility Why awareness of sinfulness should never prevent us from approaching Christ How Christ heals not only the body, but first and foremost the soul St. John Chrysostom’s teaching on true wisdom St. Augustine’s powerful insight into the centurion’s faith The sobering warning of outer darkness, weeping, and gnashing of teeth Christ as the true Light who leads us out of spiritual darkness Though we may feel unworthy, Christ desires to dwell within our hearts. When we approach Him with faith, hope, and charity, He always draws near. Let us pray for an increase in faith, hope, and love, and open our hearts to the healing presence of Our Lord Jesus Christ. ✠ In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.
