St. Gabriel

As much has I love St Michael, St Gabriel is a popular choice in my family and he has the same feast day has St Michael. This is a excellent saint you will Love!

         Saint Gabriel the Archangel is one of three angels mentioned in the bible.(the other two are St.Michael and St.Raphael) Gabriel is mentioned throughout the Old Testament. But the best known story of St.Gabriel is The birth of Jesus is Announced.  The Archangel Gabriel goes to visit the blessed Virgin Mary, to announce the birth of Jesus will be soon."In the sixth month of Elizabeths pregnancy God sent the angel Gabriel to a town in Galilee named Nazareth." Lk 1.26. "The angel Came to her and said "peace be with you! the lord is with you and has greatly blessed you!" Lk 1.28  "You will become pregnant and give bith to a son, and you will name him Jesus Lk1.32.

In the book of Daniel after god saved him from the lions den, Daniel had dreams, Dreams he did not under stand. in the holy bible it says that god sent St Gabriel to go and explain the the dreams to daniel. gabriel appered many time to Daniel to explain about his dreams.

St Gabriel is a great angel. Gabriel is the Patron of communication workers. The name Gabriel means "Man of God" or "God has shown himself mighty".           

 Saint Gabriel is the Angel god sends out to send messages like to Zechariah. In LK 1.11-18 which says "An Angel of the lord appered to him, standing at the right side of the alter Where the incense was burned. When Zechariah saw him he was alarmed and felt afraid.But the angel said to him " Don't be afraid,Zechariah! God has heheard your prayer, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son. You are to name him John. How glad and happy you will be, and how happy many others will be when he is born! John will be great in  the lords sight. He must not drink any wine or strong drink. From his very birth he will be filled with the holy spirit, and he will bring back many people of Israel to the lord their God. H will go ahead of the lord, strong and mighty like the prophet Elijah. he will bring fathers and childern together again: he will turn disobedient people to the way of thinking of the righteous: he will get the lords people ready for him". and then it goes on (LK 1.18-20) below) Zechariah  said to the angel " How  shall i know if this is so?  i am an old man and my wife is old also"... " I am Gabriel," the angel answerd. " i stand in the presence of God who sent me to tell you this good news"

Archangel Gabriel as you see, is the commuication worker of God.
