P:                 Hear the voice of Jesus: “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me to proclaim release to the captives.”  In the name of + Jesus Christ, I proclaim to you that your sins are forgiven and you are released.  The joy of the Lord is your strength, and the gifts of the Holy Spirit are yours forever.
