“We must not look on the saints as beggars but see them as people who have needs like our own. The practice of hospitality does not simply mean that we should entertain those who come to us. It means also that we should go out and invite others to come in.”
Origen of Alexandria (c. 185-254), early Christian scholar and theologian in Commentary on the Epistle to the Romans. CER 5:72-74, Luke 14:12-14.
