Hannah

After years of waiting, Hannah promises to consecrate to God any child she is given: "O Lord of hosts ... if you remember me and do not forget me, if you give your handmaid a male child, I will give him to the Lord all the days of his life" (1 Sam 1:12). Countless couples have sympathized with her heartfelt prayer through the centuries. She eventually gave birth to Samuel, a great and holy prophet.
