Hospitality
Leslie HayPaperback 2006-11-01
Publisher Description
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.
