Saint Gabriel the Archangel
Patron Saint of Telecommunications
Postal Workers, and Messengers
"The name Gabriel means man of God, or God
has shown himself mighty. St. Gabriel is one of the three angels
mentioned by name in the Bible.
The angel appears first in the prophesies of Daniel
in the Old Testament, announcing to Daniel the prophecy of the seventy
weeks, explaining the prophet's visions relating to the Messiah.
St Gabriel was the angel who appeared to Zacharias
to announce the birth of his son, John the Baptist, and to strike
Zacharias mute for his disbelief.
Finally, he announced to Mary that she would bear
a Son Who would be conceived of the Holy Spirit, Son of the Most
High, and Saviour of the world."
Prayer to St. Gabriel
"O Blessed Archangel St. Gabriel, we beseech thee, do thou
intercede for us at the throne of divine Mercy in our present necessities,
that as thou didst announce to Mary the mystery of the Incarnation,
so through thy prayers and patronage in heaven we may obtain the
benefits of the same, and sing the praise of God forever in the
land of the living. Amen."
Prayer to St. Gabriel, for Others
"O loving messenger of the Incarnation, descend upon all those
for whom I wish peace and happiness. Spread your wings over the
cradles of the new-born babes, O thou who didst announce the coming
of the Infant Jesus. Give to the young a lily petal from the virginal
scepter in your hand. Cause the Ave Maria to re-echo in all hearts
that they may find grace and joy through Mary. Finally, recall the
sublime words spoken on the day of the Annunciation-- "Nothing
is impossible with God," and repeat them in hours of trial-to
all I love-that their confidence in Our Lord may be reanimated,
when all human help fails. Amen."
