Lo, the day is coming, blazing like an oven.

If anyone was unwilling to work, neither should that one eat.

Questions for Reflection:

• Commit to sharing some warm words daily to the people around you who may be out in the cold. Where in your relationships may someone be hoping for a thaw?
• Eucharist means thanksgiving. For what do you give special thanks this week?
• Consider earthly empires that rose to magnificence and are now gone. How much of what we trust in will end up among the ruins?
