"In no fewer than 36 times does the Hebrew Bible command the love of strangers"
"A human community that does not welcome others and their otherness does not image the mystery of God"
The age that we live in has been called an age of migration. It is said that one in 35 people actually lives as a migrant. If we are called to love strangers, should we not then be loving each of them as if they were all Christ? Hebrews 13:2 reminds us that we should never fail to give hospitality to others because in doing so we have come encountered with angels.
