[quote name='frozencell' date='Dec 29 2003, 02:56 AM']I never noticed it before (probably because i'm always with my son in the cryroom), but before the Eucharist my priest said something to the effect "Find our/this sacrifice worthy to". What did he mean?  :huh:

yes, in response to this the church says:[list]"may the Lord accept the sacrifice of your hands, for the praise and glory of his name, for our good, and the good of all His Church.
[/list]in this we are basically praying, with the priest, that the Lord will overlook the sinfulness of the priest and accept the sacrifice that we offer to the Father: his Son, our Lord and Savior. it is an acknowledgment that no man is worthy to approach the altar of the Lord, and a plea for the Father to look at the worthiness of the gift, not the worthiness of the one who gives it.
