"It is possible to serve meals in a nursing home, to cook in a homeless shelter, or read stories to children at an inner-city library and never let others into your heart. It is possible to do the good thing and end up feeling satisfied with yourself and even just a bit superior. It is possible to do the good thing and not be changed for the better by it. Hospitality includes cooking the meal, and reading to the kid, but it demands that you let the people you are serving into your heart. Only in opening yourself wide to another are you transformed by the power of love."
- Radical Hospitality, Fr. Daniel Homan and Lonni Collins Pratt

Jayne Marie, who better than you , to share this quote with us. I can just feel that open, loving heart of yours.
Thank you Meenakshi - Needless to say, I love the way radical hospitality is described by the authors. The book (Radical Hospitality) is quite quite good!
