The radical hospitality of St. Benedict and his monks could revolutionize the church.

Just reorienting to the ancient practice of hospitality could revolutionize the church. So weird that something so huge in Christianity's early history has been almost totally forgotten.

Ya. Instead, we're arguing over empathy. Like, what the fuck happened? Entertain some angels and throw a party for the outcasts. Welcome the stranger, visit the captive. I just want a church that gives a damn about true love.

Imagine a church where feeding strangers is the highest calling. 😭

I imagine the line-item budget and weep in bedraggled hope.
