    Hospitality


    The charism of hospitality is a special grace that allows one to open their heart to welcome others as Jesus would, most practically by offering food and shelter to those in need.  Offering of self through friendship to those most in need is also a sign of this gift.  Individuals with this gift have a knack for making people feel at ease, they enjoy being in the presence of strangers and possess a welcoming spirit.  A concern for the comfort of others is a manifestation of the gift of hospitality.
     
    The gift of hospitality is a vital part of the growth of the Church. It may be through the ease of welcoming the stranger, that someone can experience God’s love for the first time.  Individuals with this gift are energized by greeting and welcoming an unexpected guest or visitor.  Their “circle of community” is not limited to family and close friends but includes anyone that seems to need a friend or place to rest. 
     
    It is important to understand, hospitality does not just happen inside one’s home.  An individual with this gift will be the first to welcome the stranger in the work place, church and anywhere they encounter someone in need of welcome. Someone with this gift is the first to recognize a new face and are drawn to ensure they are comfortable and feel welcome.
