2 Thessalonians 3:6-10, 16-18
Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ that you keep away from any brother who is living in idleness and not in accord with the tradition that you received from us. For you yourselves know how you ought to imitate us; we were not idle when we were with you, we did not eat any one’s bread without paying, but with toil and labor we worked night and day, that we might not burden any of you. It was not because we have not that right, but to give you in our conduct an example to imitate. For even when we were with you, we gave you this command: If anyone will not work, let him not eat. Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times in all ways. The Lord be with you all. I, Paul, write this greeting with my own hand. This is the mark in every letter of mine; it is the way I write. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.
Homily:
It is not a coincidence that those who will not work are inclined to feel entitled to the reward of work.
It is also not a coincidence that those who work are inclined to feel gratitude for the rewards of work.
Entitlement is borne out of a lack of understanding. Understanding can only come from skin in the game.
The best thing you can do for those in your care is nudge them to work.
And not just work for the sake of work, but work for their upkeep.
