Inner and Outer Hospitality – Christine Valters Paintner

“Just as we are called to cultivate our internal witness through the practice of inner hospitality, we are called to be a witness to each other through outer hospitality – to be fully present to the sorrow and despair of another without rushing to console in order to circumvent our own discomfort.”
