In Catholics, Holy Communion is held to remember Jesus and show gratitude for their deliverance.
This meal is also called the Lord's Supper, because, according to one scholar, "the Lord himself hosts us at this meal" Through the Lord's Supper we witness Jesus' humankind, and his desire to share in our people who have visible vulnerabilities, disabilities, holy communion has a particular "fearfully and wonderfully made" (Psalm 139) in the image all Christians--including people with disabilities--can true natures as embodied "jars of clay" (2 Corinthians 4:7) who point to God's glory.
