text: What Day learned from the “Coffee Cup Mass” was that the ceramic cup from which the homeless Christ sips her morning coffee is no less holy and no more profane than the gold chalice that holds Christ’s blood in the form of wine at the Mass: “There Christ is with the poor, the suffering, even in the cup we share together, in the bread we eat.”
  
  Why is it that so many people who claim to be the most faithful Catholics see Christ in gold vessels and silk vestments but can't see Christ and his Mother in the face of the poor?
