Kindness and Hospitality

"Do not neglect hospitality, for through it some have unknowingly entertained angels."
~ Hebrews 13:2

I recently heard a beautiful homily based on a reading about hospitality in the Gospel of Matthew.  The priest talked about how the concept of hospitality has changed since the time of Jesus when you would welcome the stranger traveling into your home for a meal or the night.  She talked about what hospitality might mean today in our various communities.  She said it could be as simple as helping parents of young children or spending time with someone who needs to talk.  She left us with the question: What are we called to do for each other?
