Variety: Isaiah 61v1,2

Isaiah 61:1–2
God has sent me to bring good news to the oppressed, 
to bind up the broken hearted, 
to proclaim liberty to the captives, 
and release to the prisoners, 
to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favour.

Deep reading: Read slowly and pause on any word or phrase that especially speaks to you, touches you or awakens something in you.  
Deep meditation: Allow yourself time to reflect on whatever in the text calls to your attention and reflect on why that word or phrase might have such appeal to you. 
Deep prayer: Turn your thoughts into an intention, desire, or request that you share with God as you understand God. 
Deep contemplation: Rest into a time of silence in which you are receptive to God’s presence—or the presence of divine love, truth, and goodness—with you.
