Hospitality

All things Benedictine continue to sell consistently well to Christian audiences. Equally, the role of spiritual directors is becoming increasingly important within UK church communities. What better then, than a book that combines these two notions together? Here is a book on Benedictine spirituality written for spiritual directors. Written by an author who is herself a spiritual director, and is an area coordinator for her region in Texas, this book looks at the Rule and Benedictine notions of hospitality; defines what hospitality is; looks at hospitality and the Dynamism of Numinous Reciprocity; Christ's teaching on the subject, and how to become hospitable. Hospitality is key to Benedictine spirituality as found in Matthew's gospel, where it is written "I was a stranger and you welcomed me" (ch25,v35). This book takes a practical look at how spiritual directors can practice what they preach.Read less
