St. Benedict Menni: Prophet of Hospitality
On a day like today, 183 years ago, Benedict Menni, the founder of our Congregation, was born. He was a man with a passion for God and for humanity who gave his entire life to the practice of Hospitality, seeking the good of the vulnerable person. On June 23, 1985 he was declared blessed by Pope John Paul II, and on November 21, 1999 he was canonized. In this article we review his life and work, which continues to be a beacon for all of us who live Hospitality.
