On the Fifth Day of Christmas

Where shall we begin?
What is our destination?

What i

When the song of the angels is stilled,
When the star in the sky is gone,
When the kings and princes are home,
When the shepherds are back with their flock,
The work of Christmas begins:

To find the lost,
To heal the broken,
To feed the hungry,
To release the prisoner,
To rebuild the nations,
To bring peace among [sisters and] brothers,
To make music in the heart.

– Howard Thurman, “The Work of Christmas”
