Today’s poem by Christina Rossetti reflects on transforming despair into grace, imagining a broken life remade into a royal cup for Jesus.
Today’s poem for June 7, 2026, is “A Better Resurrection” by Christina Rossetti. My life is like a broken bowl, a broken bowl that cannot hold one drop of water for my soul or cordial in the searching cold; cast in the fire the perished thing, melt and remould it, till it be a royal cup for Him, my King: O Jesus, drink of me. Rossetti gives despair the shape of something cracked, then imagines grace not as decoration, but as remaking.
