November 30th Daily Hymn, Readings, Word, Psalm and Prayer

Hymn of the Day
When friend was lost, then love deceived, dear Jesus wept, God was bereaved; so with us in our grief God grieves, and round about us mournfully there are the tears of God. ("In Deepest Night" - Text: Susan Palo Cherwien, b. 1953)
