“Beloved, it is a loyal thing you do when you render any service to the brethren, especially to strangers, who have testified to your love before
the Church. You will do well to send them on their journey as befits God’s service. For they have set out for his sake and have accepted nothing from the heathen. So we ought to support such men, that we may be fellow workers in the truth.” 3 John 5-8. St. Benedict said, “Let all guests
who arrive be received like Christ.”
Let us pray: Lord Jesus, You too were once a stranger in Egypt, and even today many of Your children find themselves strangers in foreign lands. Give us generous hearts and the grace to welcome all, especially those we do not yet know. May every stranger encounter our kindness, hospitality and love, and through our welcome come to glorify You, our God. Amen. Let your light shine!! Be blessed. Larry.
