Zechariah Prays for a child

LK 1: 7, 11-17

 But they were childless because Elizabeth was not able to conceive, and they were both very old. 

Once when Zechariah's division was on duty and he was serving as priest before God, he was chosen by lot according to the custom of the priesthood, to go into the temple of the Lord and burn incense, And when the time for the burning of the incense came, all the assembled worshippers were praying outside. Then an Angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing at the right side of the altar of incense. When Zechariah saw him, he startled and was gripped with fear. But the angel said to him: "Do not be afraid, Zechariah; your prayer has been heard, Your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you are to call him John. He will be a joy and delight to you, and many will rejoice because of his birth for he will be great in the sight of the Lord. He is never to take wine or other fermented drink, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit even before he is born. 

Have a great Sunday!
