I was sitting quietly at home one day when suddenly a bright light shone into my room. And I heard a voice say, “Greetings, O favored one, the Lord is with you!”
“What? Who? Who are you? Who’s the favored one?” I thought to myself while trying to figure out whether or not I was dreaming…
It was an angel! I had heard of angels appearing to people in the Torah. This angel said his name was Gabriel. Gabriel? Gabriel was the angel who appeared to our prophet Daniel! Oh how could I now be seeing him? And why would he appear to a poor young girl like me?
