Perhaps, it is a way of calling attention to God\u2019s transforming presence when it is breaking into human life in this universe. In any case, there are some curiosities to be noticed in how that presence makes itself visible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, the \u201creign of God\u201d happens within a context. It breaks in when persons move to and travel toward other persons. It becomes present when those who are sent are welcomed and find hospitality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Secondly, the \u201creign of God\u201d is not located in the interior of an individual life, or in some privacy of relation with God. It has a social shape. Those who are sent go two by two to people in the plural. The \u201creign of God\u201d longs to become visible as a \u201cchurch,\u201d people gathered together in hospitality \u201cgiving thanks to the God they now dare to call \u2018Father.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, although the ones who are sent may have been sent \u201cas lambs in the midst of wolves,\u201d God\u2019s transforming presence will not reveal itself where it is not welcomed. Strangers received in peace, foreigners shown hospitality; these are the prerequisites that ultimately lead to table fellowship with God \u2014 the great banquet to which all are called, and to which the Eucharist points when hospitality allows it to be celebrated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryknollmagazine.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Maryknoll missioners<\/a> certainly know this. They have arrived in so many different places as foreigners and strangers. But, when they were welcomed, God\u2019s transforming presence broke in, gathering them and their hosts together into \u201cchurch.\u201d Welcoming strangers is the surest way of responding to God\u2019s transforming presence within human life in this universe. In God\u2019s reign there \u201care no longer strangers and sojourners, but \u2026 fellow citizens with the holy ones and members of the household of God, built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the capstone.\u201d (Eph. 2: 19-20)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even more! Christian tradition has woven into it this theme: when we welcome strangers, we allow the presence of God to become visible. The author of the <a href=\"https:\/\/bible.usccb.org\/bible\/hebrews\/0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Epistle to the Hebrews<\/a> counsels us, \u201cDo not neglect hospitality, for through it some have unknowingly entertained angels,\u201d those forerunners of God\u2019s presence. Later, around 1410 A.D., the Eastern artist, <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Trinity_(Andrei_Rublev)\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Andrei Rublev<\/a> would create one of the great icons of Christian art. It would depict the three strangers Abraham welcomed to his tent by the terebinth of Mamre (Gen. 18: 1). But Rublev removed the figures of Abraham and Sarah from the scene, and through a subtle use of composition and symbolism caused us to focus on the three strangers as a way of imagining the mystery of the Trinity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why is this reminder of Christian tradition important? Perhaps a sentence from <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/John_Berger\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">John Berger<\/a>\u2019s And<em>&nbsp;Our Faces, My Heart, Brief as Photos<\/em> will explain. He writes, \u201cThis century, for all its wealth and with all its communication systems, is the century of banishment.\u201d Is he not pointing to something negating the \u201creign of God?\u201d Is he not making us aware of the prevalence in our midst of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryknollmagazine.org\/tag\/migrants\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">hostility to strangers<\/a> insinuating itself into our lives? Witness the recent laws and political rhetoric in our own country whose aim is to penalize immigrants. We refuse to recognize people looking for asylum and call them \u201cillegals\u201d or \u201cundocumented.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every celebration of the Eucharist is a good time to remember something central to our Christianity, especially to its catholicity. We are the people who welcome \u201copen borders\u201d between people. Our religious tradition has a long memory. It remembers a time before passports and visas were ever needed if one wanted to travel. It remembers that the nation-state, with its closed defensible boundaries, is simply an invention of the European Peace of Westphalia in 1648. It remembers a time when human beings were not denied \u201cfreedom of movement.\u201d And it imagines a time in the future when it will be true again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We occasionally forget how important \u201cfreedom of movement\u201d is to human rights. There are, no doubt, numerous human rights, but, ultimately, they all have their foundation in a basic core. Every human being has the right to subsistence and the right to be secure, free from terror. Only an <em>unjust<\/em> nation-state would violate subsistence and security rights. But, \u201cfreedom of movement\u201d is the right fundamental to their well-being. It is \u201cfreedom of movement\u201d that makes subsistence and security important rights to be enjoyed precisely as rights. Without it, they may be had, but they can not be enjoyed as rights. They may be had as privileges, discretions or indulgences from a governing state, but not as rights. Without \u201cfreedom of movement\u201d they do not belong to a human being because of his or her dignity and value as a human in the family of humankind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every Eucharist is a gathering together of people to give thanks at the table of the Lord. That gathering together is built on hospitality, on welcoming strangers. There, together with Saint Paul, we do not \u201cboast of anything but the Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ.\u201d May our gatherings be a sure antidote to \u201cthe century of banishment.\u201d May all feel welcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Ordained in 1960, Maryknoll Father John E.
