“Hospitality is the first step toward dismantling the barriers of the world. Hospitality is the way we turn a prejudiced world around one heart at a time.” –Joan Chittister

Prayer

Loving God,

The ministry we are called to perform brings us into contact with so many different people, from different walks of life, facing different conditions and issues. As we engage them and strive to serve them, help us dismantle barriers by embodying a genuine and authentic form of hospitality. May we show all those we encounter that we are eager to receive them, just as they are. May we champion the dignity you have bestowed on each one of us, and thereby convert our prejudiced world towards a deeper unity, one heart at a time. Amen. 

Call to Action

In all my interactions today, strive to embody a spirit of hospitality.
