The Rule of St Benedict commands: Let all guests that come be received as Christ.1.
- In dialysis units, caregivers embody this spirit—offering compassion, presence, and dignity.
- For autistic people, environments that honour sensory needs, communication styles, and emotional safety are acts of radical hospitality.
- In monasteries, hospitality is sacred. So too in clinics, homes, and communities where care is given freely and attentively.
To be received with gentleness is to be seen fully.
- RB, Chapter LIII
