A personal reflection by an Episcopal priest in which he discusses sharing the common cup with an AIDS patient. He confesses that even though he knew the risk of infection was greater for an AIDS patient to receive and that all scientific evidence indicates that AIDS itself cannot be transmitted through the chalice, he was afraid to receive after his parishioner until he truly heard and reflected on the words of administration "The Blood of Christ, the cup of Salvation".
