Isaiah 61:1-3

      The Sovereign Lord has filled me with his sprit.  He has chosen me and sent me to bring good news to the poor, to heal the broken-hearted, to announce release to captives and freedom to those in prison.

       He has sent me to proclaim that the time has come when the Lord will save his people and defeat their enemies.

       He has sent me to comfort all who mourn, to give to those who mourn in Zion, joy and gladness instead of grief, a song of praise instead of sorrow.
