The Host

In situations where you feel completely vulnerable to another's acknowledgement of your human dignity (i.e. the doctor's office), consider that you are at that moment living Christ's life in the Host.  There He has given Himself over - by choice - into the hands of another who can choose to do with Him what he wishes.  Christ is repeatedly treated coldly, taken for granted, ignored, forgotten, even desecrated.  Even those who wish to receive Him with fervor get distracted or lose it in the routine of Mass and Communion.  But few of these cold-hearted people are intentionally disrespectful.  And Christ still comes and still chooses to hand Himself over for the good that should come of it.
