Gracious God, you sent us Jesus.
Your Spirit was with him,
bringing good news
to the oppressed.
He endured persecution,
bound up the brokenhearted,
proclaimed liberty to the captives,
and declared release to the prisoners.
Fill us with the joy of your salvation,
and sustain in us a willing spirit
to serve our Servant Lord.
