What could be more appropriate during this holiday season than to talk about hospitality one more time?
Midst the last minute rush to buy and wrap presents, dream up a wonderful meal and enjoy relatives and friends who happen to drop by, I need to remind myself that Christmas is not really about gift exchanges, cards and delicious, gourmet feasts. The original Christmas event over 2000 years ago was about God's gift of his Presence in our midst. God becoming human so that we could realize how loving and approachable God is. That is at the heart of hospitality--acknowledging that God comes in the ordinary of life and that he comes in human form. Recognizing this can be a lifetime task.
May the joy and peace of Christmas be with you and your loved ones during this holiday season.
Sr. Catherine, OSB
