To embrace the unknown guest is to embrace the challenge of love in its purest form, extending beyond kinship and comfort, mirroring the boundless generosity we ourselves receive.

This simple act is a profound discipline, shaping the soul towards that all-encompassing charity without which no spiritual life is truly complete.
