Rooted in God and the Gospel Invite others to join us in bringing about God’s Dream for this beautiful yet wounded world

Continually stippled with new colors, your generosity will inevitably reveal Christ in the world. Hospitality with Open Hearts

The Hospitality of Abraham and Sarah Debra Korluka St. Mary’s Greek Orthodox Church, Minneapolis, MN

Lumen Gentium all the disciples of Christ, persevering in prayer and praising God, should present themselves as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God. Everywhere on earth they must bear witness to Christ and give an answer to those who seek an account of that hope of eternal life which is in them. 1 Peter 3: Hospitality with open hearts...

Mysticism and Mission Christ sent by the Father We in relationship with God are sent into the world, receiving with Christ & the Spirit the movement of love of the Father. Apostolic life (ministry) is God’s hospitality in us. Our instrument for mission is the way my person is worked on by God. Our vows do not have an apostolic aim, but they do have apostolic consequences. Sylvie Robert, SA. February 2011 Hospitality with open hearts...

1962 The Nun in the Modern World C harter for the developments that would flow from VC II Understanding the “world” as loved by God Church’s self-understanding of its relationship with the world Affirming the church’s solidarity will all of humanity Unreserved commitment to the common human project

Invitation to Religious Re-conceptualize vocation in light of Church’s espoused solidarity with the world. Commit to life-giving personal development which is essential for a mature capacity for self-donation. Probe our radical stance of relationship (community), material goods, & power. Sandra Schneiders IHM Hospitality with open hearts...

Imperatives of the Vocation of Hospitality GOD God Self Neighbor

Hospitality with open hearts... Easter Dynamic of Spirituality of Hospitality Jesus shows himself to his disciples as forgiveness in person. - Response to betrayal in “Shalom” wholeness, - unconditional love, - reconciliation Jesus renews friendship with them. - Intimacy & community in conversation & shared ritual Jesus sends them on mission - Various ministries of witness, reconciliation & service -

Hospitality with open hearts... Interplay of Community & Ministry Hospitable people experience the communion that is the ultimate goal of all living & ministry. Friendship & community open into loving service of neighbor. Honest & consistent witness of mutual love

Hospitality with open hearts... Discernment An ministerial spirituality requires that I learn how to live & act as a discerner of spirits & a seeker of God’s desire for me. Growing as a person in hospitality to the world means growing as a contemplative in action. Joining with God (contemplative) as God labors in the world (action)

Christian Hospitality Lawyer to Jesus: How should I live, in order to inherit eternal life? Has a unique role in moral development Welcomes a relationship with the whole person, not just an aspect of the person. Caring for the needs of strangers, even if risky, leads to a transformation of the self & the other by discovering the depths of human connectedness.

Civility & tolerance are character traits that rational beings endorse, enabling people to live with fundamental differences without reconciling them. They mediate our relationships with those we do not love. Proceed from a view of human community with minimal expectations. Do not require sacrifice Hospitality with open hearts... Virtues are defined in relation to happiness. Virtues carry real risks & dangers, of a sort toleration does not. The virtue of hospitality is open to differences; invites strangers into a deeper relationship & welcomes their goodness – not just their beliefs. De-centers one’s perspective Shifts the frame of reference from self to the “other” Changes our idea of “home” Christian Hospitality

Institutional Hospitality Activities & policies that promote positive character traits Arenas for metanoia Interior landscape witnesses to the exterior landscape Awareness of structural inequalities lead to acts of justice. Puts people goals ahead of system goals Shares facilities & grounds with neighbors Servant leaders & respected employees Desire for mutuality in conversation rather than mere consensus Public space that values the articulation & engagement of differences. Hospitality with open hearts...
