“Befitting” – Not “Worthy Of”

At Conception Church in Bangkok, Thailand

We must be persuaded that a soul can neither do, nor think of doing, anything more gratifying to Jesus Christ than to receive Communion with a disposition befitting so great a guest whom we have to receive into our heart. I said “befitting,” not “worthy of”; for if we had to have a “worthy” disposition, who could ever go to Communion?
Saint Alphonsus Liguori
