	The most significant moment for me is the ultimate petition
before receiving the bread and wine: "Lord, I am not worthy to receive
you, but only say the word and I shall be healed."
	This petition recalls the similar petition made by the Gentile 
centurion, whose faith, said Jesus, was greater than he had found among
all of Israel.
