This is why to remember is a religious act, the primordial religious act of the Jewish and Christian traditions. To live sacred lives requires that we live at the edge of what we do not know. Even our search for a more just world, in which the dignity of every human being will be respected, is not merely a moral imperative, but an expression of the mystery of the love that is the life of the Trinity which we are called to embody. Timothy Radcliffe, OP Our hospitality is rooted and grounded in God's hospitality to us in Christ. Until we know this love deep in the core of our hearts, we will have neither courage nor trust to share hospitality with others in more than superficial ways.
Christian hospitality is a risk taken in faith.
As we learn to receive God's hospitality to us, we will become more hospitable to God, to each other, and to our fellow creatures. This will make us a different kind of community. Others will see something enticing in us. Hospitable places are not frenetic, though people within them may be busy. When sanctuary and a slower pace are combined, there is a sense of peace.
