Hospitality is the virtue that allows us to break
through the narrowness of our own fears and open our houses to the stranger,
with the intuition that salvation comes to us in the form of a tired
traveler. Hospitality makes anxious
disciples into powerful witnesses, makes suspicious owners into generous
givers, and makes close-minded sectarians into interested recipients of new
ideas and insights.
--Henri Nouwen,
The Wounded Healer
