While Zachariah was in the temple performing his priestly duties, suddenly an angel appeared. “Don’t be afraid,” the angel said, “I bring you good news. Your prayers have been heard and Elizabeth will have a baby. You are to name the baby John.” “It is true,” Zachariah said, “Many times we prayed for a baby, but now it is too late, for we are both old.” “It will happen,” the angel said, “But, because you doubted God, you will be speechless until the baby is born.” [Reflection is based on the Bible Reference – Luke 1:8-20]
