Lenten Journey, Day 22, Hospitality

Romans 12:13: “Contribute to the needs of the saints and seek to show hospitality.”

Paul says we should seek to show hospitality; that is, we are to be on the lookout for showing hospitality. It is amazing that the Church today is eager to fulfill all sorts of proclamation duties, but hospitality remains hidden in the gift closet; unused. But our journey is always more pleasant when we walk together. Hospitality builds union and communion and mutual encouragement. “Let’s grab coffee.” “Come on over for some dessert.” “Join us for pizza.” It can be as simple as that. In these last three weeks of Lent, look at your calendar and try to have one family over a week for dessert or coffee or a meal. Try it, and you will see how joyful your journey will be during Lent.
