favor

"The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me,

because the LORD has anointed me

to preach good news to the poor.

He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,

to proclaim freedom for the captives

and release from darkness for the prisoners,

to proclaim the year of the LORD's favor"

Isaiah 61:1,2a

"Glory to God in the highest,

and on earth peace to men

on whom his favor rests."

Luke 2:14
