The Centurion asked only one word of Jesus so that his servant could be cured; similarly only one word is sufficient from our Redeemer to cure the leprosy of mortal sin.

Matt. 8, 1-13. At that time, when Jesus had come down from the mountain, great crowds followed Him. And behold, a leper came up and worshipped Him, saying, “Lord, if Thou wilt, Thou canst make me clean.” And stretching forth His hand Jesus touched him, saying, “I will; be thou made clean.” And immediately his leprosy was cleansed. And Jesus said to him, “See thou tell no one; but go, show thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a witness to them. Now when He had entered Capharnaum, there came to Him a centurion who entreated Him, saying, “Lord, my servant is lying sick in the house, paralyzed, and is grievously afflicted.” Jesus said to him, “I will come and cure him.” But in answer the centurion said, “Lord, I am not worthy that Thou shouldst come under my roof; but only say the word, and my servant will be healed. For I too am a man subject to authority, and have soldiers subject to me; and I say to one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes; and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it. And when Jesus heard this, He marvelled, and said to those who were following Him, “Amen I say to you, I have not found such great faith in Israel. And I tell you that many will come from the east and from the west, and will feast with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven, but the children of the kingdom will be put forth into the darkness outside; there will be the weeping, and the gnashing of teeth.” Then Jesus said to the centurion, “Go thy way; as thou hast believed, so be it done to thee.” And the servant was healed in that hour. S. Praise be to Thee, O Christ.

The conversion of Saul while journeying to Damascus is perhaps the greatest miracle in the history of the Primitive Church. The doctrine of the Mystical Body of Christ which teaches that all the faithful are members of the same Body, whose head He is, receives a very clear meaning in the words of Christ addressed to Saul, the persecutor of Christians: “Saul, Saul, why dost though persecute Me?”

LORD, God almighty, behold me prostrate before thee, in order to appease and honor thy divine majesty, in the name of all creatures. But how can I do it,— I a wretched sinner? Yes, I can, and I will do it; because I know that thou dost glory in being called the Father of mercy, and that, for love of us, thou hast given even thy only-begotten Son, who offered himself for us on the cross,and who continually renews for us the same sacrifice on our altars.

And therefore, though a sinner, yet truly penitent, wretched, and yet rich in Jesus Christ, I present myself before thee, and with the fervor of all the saints and angels, and with the ardent love of the immaculate heart of Mary, I offer thee, in the name of all creatures, the masses which are now being said, with all those which have been said, and which will be said to the end of the world. I also desire to renew this offering, at every instant of this day, and of my whole life, in order to give thy infinite majesty honor and glory worthy of thee; to appease thy wrath, and to satisfy thy justice for our many sins; to render thee thanks in keeping with thy benefits, and to implore thy mercy for mvself and for all sinners, for all the faithful, living and dead, for the whole Church, and chiefly for its visible head, the Roman Pontiff; and lastly, for all poor schismatics, heretics, and infidels, that they also may be converted and saved.

LITANY of the LOVE of GOD
Thou Who art Infinite Love,
I Love Thee, O My God.
[This response continues for each line below.]
Thou Who didst first love me,
Thou Who commandest me to love Thee,
With all my heart,
With all my soul,
With all my mind,
With all my strength,
Above all possessions and honors,
Above all pleasures and enjoyments,
More than myself and all that belongs to me,
More than all my relatives and friends,
More than all men and angels,
Above all created things in heaven or on earth,
Only for Thyself,
Because Thou art the sovereign Good,
Because Thou art infinitely worthy of being loved,
Because Thou art infinitely perfect,
Even hadst Thou not promised me heaven,
Even hadst Thou not menaced me with hell,
Even shouldst Thou try me by want and misfortune,
In wealth and in poverty,
In prosperity and in adversity,
In health and in sickness,
In life and in death,
In time and in eternity,
In union with that love wherewith all the saints and all the angels love Thee in heaven,
In union with that love wherewith the Blessed Virgin Mary loveth Thee,
I Love Thee, O My God
In union with that infinite love wherewith Thou lovest Thyself eternally.
Let us pray. My God, Who dost possess in incomprehensible abundance all that is perfect and worthy of love, annihilate in me all guilty, sensual, and undue love for creatures; kindle in my heart the pure fire of Thy love, so that I may love nothing but Thee or in Thee, until being entirely consumed by holy love of Thee, I may go to love Thee eternally with the elect in heaven, the country of pure love. Amen.

I acknowledge with heart and mouth that Thou art the root from which these and all good things spring.
