I used to have a priest Spiritual Director (raised in the RCC, Altar 
Boy) who would use the form, almost as an undertone to himself,  just 
the part "Lord, I am not worthy that you should come under my roof, but 
speak the word only, and my soul shall be healed", as he Received 
himself.  I wouldn't have heard it if I were in the congregation, but 
even then I could see his lips move, and could hear it if I were in 
choir or assisting in the Altar Party.  I think I used to know more of 
the liturgical technicalities, but that's gone.  Of course, it's a (at 
least almost) KJV line from the Roman Centurion who wanted his sick boy 
healed.
