Radical Hospitality is the intentional welcoming of those we know and those we don’t yet know into a community of belonging. In the Mercy and Jesuit traditions, we are asked to embrace the stranger as our neighbor, in the spirit of love, mercy and justice.
In the latest feature in the Mission Effectiveness Team series “A Year in Radical Hospitality,” Sarah Foster, RSM, writes about a member of our campus community who expresses welcome, love and acceptance in all of his interactions. Sometimes, Sr. Sarah reveals, it is one of God’s smaller creatures (say, a toy poodle) who recognizes the sacred in everyone he meets.
