The Year of the Lord's Favor

       The Year of the Lord’s Favor 

“To proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor and the day of vengeance of our God… to comfort all who mourn, and provide for those who grieve in Zion—to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of His splendor.” (Isaiah 61:1, 3)
