We need this prayer to remind us daily.

Before the priest breaks the bread, the congregants follow the BCP praying:

“We are not worthy so much as to gather up the crumbs under thy Table. But thou art the same Lord, Whose property is always to have mercy: Grant us therefore, gracious Lord, So to eat the Flesh of thy dear Son Jesus Christ, And to drink his Blood, That our sinful bodies may be made clean by his Body, And our souls washed through his most precious Blood, And that we may evermore dwell in him, And he in us. Amen.”

This prayer puts the Good News in our mouth. It reminds us to be humble and be grateful for what God has done to save us in Christ. Praying this prayer daily helps us to have a heart connect with God.
