The Visitor: Entertaining Angels Unaware (Hebrews 13:2)

In The Visitor, Walter Vale—a disconnected economics professor—returns to his New York apartment to find immigrants Tarek and Zainab living there illegally. He could call the police. Instead, he lets them stay. Tarek teaches him to play the djembe drum; life enters Walter's gray existence. "Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares." The "illegal" immigrants become Walter's angels—bringing music, friendship, purpose. Hospitality to the stranger often blesses the host more than the guest. The angel was at Walter's door; he just had to open it.
