"The Spirit of God, the Master, is on me because God anointed me. He sent me to preach good news to the poor, heal the heartbroken, announce freedom to all captives, pardon all prisoners. God sent me to announce the year of his grace - a celebration of God's destruction of our enemies - and to comfort all who mourn."
Isaiah 61
"The work of justice is the moral crown of creation itself, the completion of the creative task of Genesis."
Daniel Berrigan
