Today's culture is increasingly hostile and suspicious toward anyone who appears to be different - especially when tragedy strikes. Our instict is to bolt our doors and protect the ones we love. But deep within the heart of Benedictine spirituality lies a remedy to hatred, fear, and suspicion: hospitality.
Sharing monastic wisdom as well as stories from their own lives, Pratt and Homan encourage us to embrace the true meaning of hospitality, by welcoming the stranger - not only into our homes, but into our hearts.
