Summary:The article links the concept of the soul to hospitality in the religious and Church environment. As an experiment, the article illustrates with biblical examples, especially from the New Testament, the axiom "Hospitality is the soul of the Church." Its uniqueness consists in a hospitality that goes beyond the rules of reciprocity and symmetry and opens into a catholicity beyond borders, as can be seen in the encyclical Fratelli Tutti.
