Zechariah\u00a0priest of the Temple and husband of Isabel, received the confirmation of his prayers. His wife was going to be pregnant already in her old age, the promise of God, heard from the mouth of the Angel Gabriel, was huge for Zechariah for doubt flooded his heart. Zechariah\u00a0joined with his wife, were persons right in the eyes of God, fully completing His commandments. He could not believe that being old they would have a son, his humanity asked a confirmation, something secure in which he would grab on to, and God proceded to make\u00a0Zechariah\u00a0mute.<\/p>\n

And Zechariah accompanied the nine months of gestation of his son in silence, seeing as the physiognomy of his wife changed, as the life of both was turning a color, a new joy in them. God made \u00a0Zechariah mute in order that he would love more profoundly during this time of blessing he so longed to see. And the first word that he said was the name of his son, John <\/strong>that he wanted to say favored by God. <\/strong>It<\/strong> was a step closer for Zechariah to holiness, for being already just before the eyes of God, the Lord with his silence taught him to praise Him, to feel favored by the Lord, to embody the word “God has favored me.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

I invite you to embody in your life, in your heart, and making a part of your thoughts this prayer:<\/p>\n

“I am favored by the Lord, it does not matter that they try to silence my life, I am favored by the Lord, Come Holy Spirit, Come to my life.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

May God bless us<\/strong><\/p>\n
