"I was naked and you clothed me"

A series of personal reflections on the theme of hospitality, inspired by an aspect of Jesus' ministry and Passion.

Lent Talks is a series of personal reflections inspired by an aspect of the story leading up to Easter. This year’s theme is the power of hospitality, based on Jesus’ encouragement in Matthew’s gospel to feed the hungry, welcome the stranger and look after the sick.

This week's speaker is the sexual abuse survivor Dr Margaret Kennedy. Now living with a degenerative condition, she looks back on the trauma as well as the joys in her life, as she considers the words, "I was naked and you clothed me".

Producer: Dan Tierney.
