Liturgical Resources Priests for Life ! The First Reading and
Gospel of this weekend speak to us about welcome and hospitality.
In the exercise of welcom- ing the other, we welcome God himself.
The New Testa- ment urges us in various passages not to fail to
exercise hospitality. The Letter to the Hebrews says, “Do not
forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some people have
entertained angels without knowing it” (Heb. 13:2). !
Today’s homily can point out that “hospitality” is more than just a
natural virtue or integral part of good manners. There is a
“hospitality” that goes to the very depths of our relationship with
God and our neighbor. The example of Abraham, Sarah, Martha, and
Mary today point us to sever- al key truths. !
First, the only proper response to the human person is wel- come,
acceptance, and love. This starts with the welcome we give to our
own children, born and unborn, and contin- ues in the fabric of the
family, Church, and society to create a communion of love and
service. The attitude of welcome, the virtue of hospitality, means
that we make room for the other because of the value of the other,
not because of some pleasure or convenience of our own. (The phrase
“every child a wanted child” is a Planned Parenthood slogan; but as
psychiatrist Dr. Philip Ney explains, it is not being “wanted” that
leads to psychological health, but rather be- ing “welcomed.” Being
“wanted” means we meet someone else’s need or desire; being
“welcomed” means there is room for us because of who we are and the
dignity that we possess, independent of what is going on in anyone
else.) !
Second, the opportunity to welcome the other comes at times we do
not expect. We are always living in the com- munity of the human
family, and have to be always ready to respond to the needs of the
other person. We are not only responsible for the people we choose
and plan for. We are responsible before we choose, simply because
all human beings are our brothers and sisters. As John Paul II
stressed in Evangelium Vitae, we have been entrusted to the care of
one another by the Creator. !
Third, the welcome and hospitality we extend to others is, by that
very fact, extended to God himself. This is brought out in today’s
readings and in many other passages of Scripture such as the
judgment scene in Matthew 25. !
Fourth, extending welcome can bring suffering and incon- venience
to us and this is the opportunity to live out what St. Paul
describes in the Second Reading, uniting our suf- ferings with
those of Christ.
