Now spend some time reflecting on this verse:
“What can I give Him, poor as I am?
If I were a shepherd, I would bring a lamb;
If I were a Wise Man. I would do my part;
Yet what I can give Him: I can give my heart.” (1872 Christina Rossetti, In a bleak midwinter)
Give your heart, your soul, your cares and your worries to the Lord, He is waiting for them and for you. Find a little time today to Rejoice for the Lord is near, close than you think.
May God Be Praised!

End this coronavirus scourge. Send Your light to guide me as I wander in the darkness of this pandemic and give me the solace of Your eternal love today. Amen. [Psalm 143 and Collect from Mass Time in Pandemic Adopted by Dcn. George Kelly]
