Isaiah 61:1-3

This is what we are called to-- The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has tanointed me to bring good news to the poor;1 he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and uthe opening of the prison to those who are bound; to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor, wand the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn; to grant to those who mourn in Zion— to give them a beautiful headdress instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, the garment of praise instead of a faint spirit; zthat they may be called oaks of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, athat he may be glorified.
