VIRTUE OF THE MONTH — HOSPITALITY

The virtue of hospitality is a beautiful and relevant expression of love and kindness, rooted in the teachings of Jesus and our Christian faith. It involves welcoming others—friends, strangers, and those in need—into one's home and life, fostering an environment where relationships can flourish.

This practice is not merely about providing food or shelter; it also relates to a deeper attentiveness to the emotional and spiritual needs of people. Hospitality reflects the grace and generosity that God extends to all of us. In a world often marked by division and self-interest, the practice of hospitality stands as a powerful virtue and example to God's love and grace.

On this page, you find multiple resources available to help develop this virtue into your everyday life.
