Matthew Works
-- a Christian brother who has been homeless, on the streets of Boston, for over ten years.

Have you ever approached a church ( i.e., "the house of the Lord" here on Earth today), looking forward to entering "this holy place of rest / refuge / shelter / sanctuary", only to find its doors securely locked, and the building completely empty (devoid of any visible signs of life)?
Well, this website / this ministry / this movement is all about working to change that reality; and to get churches, everywhere, to see-to-it that the doors are open (not locked), open to all (all, without exception), and open all the time (24 hours a day, and 7 days a week.)
"The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble." --- Psalm 9:9
"Treat every guest as Christ." --- The Rule of St. Benedict
"Come to me, all you that are weary and carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest." --- Matthew 11:28
