Daily Reading for March 20 • Feast of St Cuthbert, Bishop of Lindisfarne, 687
Always keep God’s peace and love among you, and when you have to seek guidance about your affairs, take great care to be of one mind. Live in mutual good-will also with Christ’s other servants, and do not despise Christians who come to you for hospitality, but see that you welcome them, give them accommodation, and send them on their way with friendship and kindness.
Cuthbert’s last words, quoted in A Holy Island Prayer Book: Morning, Midday, and Evening Prayer by Ray Simpson. Copyright © 2002 Morehouse Publishing, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
(From Speaking to the Soul.)
I would change St Cuthbert's words slightly to read, "and do not despise any persons who come to you for hospitality..."
