Oil Of Joy For Mourning

oil of joy


As the people of God assemble today, may they, like their loving God,
comfort those who mourn and surround them and minister to them
in such a way that the mourners may receive the oil of joy for mourning.
May there be such facilitation that they receive the garment of praise for
the spirit of heaviness and leave that time of worship and fellowship with lifted heads.

“…To comfort all who mourn,  3  To console those who mourn in Zion, To give them
beauty for ashes, The oil of joy for mourning, The garment of praise for the spirit
of heaviness;” (Isa.61:2b-3a)
