a prayer for hospitality towards others

Jesus of Nazareth,

You met unlikely people in unlikely places and joined yourself to them in friendship. May we be like you in this way, finding friends at crossroads and bus-stops, in question and crises, in kindness and curiosity. Because we, like you. need the company of others. 

Jesus of the table, 

You gathered unexpected people around hearths of hospitality. You stretched out your hand for grapes and bread, for wine and welcome. May we populate our tables with all kinds of people. Because at the table our hearts can be glad. 

Amen
