from Isaiah 61:1-2 The spirit of the Lord is upon us, Because the Lord has anointed us; He has sent us to bring good news to the oppressed, To bind up the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives, and release to the prisoners; To proclaim the year of the Lords favor and the day of Gods reckoning.
