Yes, welcome again, and again, and again. A thousand welcomes. You are always most welcome at a monastery.
Saint Benedict provides that there should always be at the gate of the monastery a wise old man, one with the benignity of years who knows how to give a hearty and warm welcome. There is always to be a guesthouse, one well provided and carefully kept. Especially is the stranger and traveler to be welcomed. For it is the Lord.
I have always been struck at the way our Lord describes the last judment. He does not say anyting about our prayers and contemplation nor about our labor and our lectio. Rather he speaks about feeding and giving drink, about welcoming and clothing, about visiting (Mt 25).
