During Holy Week, I'll be sharing a daily poem by Christina Rossetti. We often know her for her lovely poetry for children, but she wrote volumes of devotional poetry as well, including a series for the feasts and fasts of this week. These are the poems I'll be sharing with my own children as we ready our home and our hearts and keep the Church's traditions. Wishing you a blessed time as you prepare for Easter!
MONDAY IN HOLY WEEK
"The Voice of my Beloved."
Once I ached for thy dear sake:
Wilt thou cause Me now to ache?
Once I bled for thee in pain:
Wilt thou rend My Heart again?
Crown of thorns and shameful tree,
Bitter death I bore for thee,
Bore My Cross to carry thee,
And wilt thou have nought of Me?
