Liturgical Time
The joy of my soul
How am I?
The spirit of God is upon me
How did this happen?
God has anointed me
What am I to do?
Bring glad tidings to the poor
Heal the brokenhearted
Proclaim liberty to captives and release to prisoners
Why?
In my God is the joy of my soul
What am I to do?
Rejoice always
Pray without ceasing
In all circumstances give thanks
Why?
This is the will of God for me in Christ Jesus
Amen
