Two Rossetti prayers to help us start the New Year with humility and gratitude:
Lord, Thou Art Fullness
Lord, Thou art fullness, and I am emptiness:
Yet hear my heart speak in its speechlessness
Extolling Thine unuttered loveliness.
I Cannot Plead
O Lord, I cannot plead my love of Thee:
I plead Thy love of me;—
The shallow conduit hails the unfathomed sea.
—Christina Rossetti, Poems (Alfred A. Knopf, 1993).
