Rossetti: What can I give Him

Friday, April 27, 2018
    Feast of Christina Rossetti, Poet, 1894
Meditation:
    [Jesus:] “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.”
    —John 10:11 (NIV)
Quotation:
What can I give Him
    Poor as I am?
If I were a shepherd
    I would give Him a lamb,
If I were a Wise Man,
    I would do my part,—
But what I can, I give Him,
    Give my heart.
