THE LITURGY OF THE WORD reading Isaiah 61:1 4, 8 11 The spirit Lord God upon me, because Lord has anointed me; he has sent me to bring good news to oppressed, to bind up brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to captives, and release to proners; to proclaim year Lord s favor, and day vengeance our God; to comfort all who mourn; to provide for those who mourn in Zion to give m a garland instead ashes, oil gladness instead mourning, mantle prae instead a faint spirit. They will be called oaks righteousness, planting Lord, to dplay h glory. They shall build up ancient ruins, y shall rae up former devastations; y shall repair ruined cities, devastations many generations. For I Lord love justice, I hate robbery and wrongdoing; I will faithfully give m ir recompense, and I will make an everlasting covenant with m. Their descendants shall be known among nations, and ir fspring among peoples; all who see m shall acknowledge that y are a people whom Lord has blessed. I will greatly rejoice in Lord, my whole being shall exult in my God; for he has clod me with garments salvation, he has covered me with robe righteousness, as a bridegroom decks himself with a garland, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels. For as earth brings forth its shoots, and as a garden causes what sown in it to spring up, so Lord God will cause righteousness and prae to spring up before all nations.
