Oct 30: Day by Day with Father Bill
FRIDAY OF THE THIRTIETH WEEK IN ORDINARY TIME
Hope by Alice Dunbar-Nelson
Wild seas of tossing, writhing waves,
A wreck half-sinking in the tortuous gloom;
One man clings desperately, while Boreas* raves,
And helps to blot the rays of moon and star,
Then comes a sudden flash of light, which gleams on shores afar.
* Boreas, the Greek God of the north wind and winter
