The author, who is a physician, describes attending Mass and noticing an unhoused man. His hygiene suggests a socially isolated illness. The author muses on his resources, his conditions, and what has brought him to Mass today. Does he suffer from substance misuse, schizoaffective disorder? Does he have family members who care about him? Does he have reliable health care? As the sign of peace approached, the author silently hoped, prayed, even, that they wouldn't encounter each other. Thus far in Mass, the author noticed this man and put together a series of hypotheses about his life and possible health and social conditions. While the author's thinking had been hypothesis generating and diagnostic, without intention of judgement, he'd nevertheless had the impulse to avoid interacting with him. He'd felt ashamed. As he and his family returned to their seats from communion, he heard a booming tenor nearby, belting out the communion hymn. The author looked up from his meditation, and the voice was his.
