Hospitality is at the heart of the Eucharist, otherwise called the ‘Eucharistic Hospitality’, because it is first and foremost an invitation to share or participate in the Body and Blood of Christ. Hence, it is called ‘communion’, the Holy Communion. Now, there are quite a lot of issues regarding who is qualified or not in the actual reception, but there is no doubt that all of us are invited to fellowship together in the Eucharistic feast.
However, we must become Eucharistic by living out hospitality following the example of Christ. Christ makes himself a place of welcome to all of us, not minding our unworthiness. We ought therefore to move from not only talking or preaching or studying Christ to following Christ and living like Christ.
