Spiritual hospitality – helping others live more fully, to love more fully.
Our deepest calling is to love. Taking time to offer spiritual hospitality to the sick, the injured (mentally, physically, spiritually) those suffering makes it possible for healing. Having experienced suffering and struggle ourselves, we can help clear the confusion and offer comfort to face what is real. We can take our turn to hold the hand of someone who is sick, offer a hug for an exhausted friend or listen to their pain with an open and compassionate heart. In this way, we can lighten their pain all the while, knowing they must cross this threshold alone.
Thoughts and reflections based on a daily reflection from Mark Nepo BOOK OF AWAKENING Having The Life You Want By Being Present To The One You Have
REFLECTION:
- Is there someone in need of “Spiritual Hospitality?”
- What can you offer with a compassionate and open heart to someone in need today?
