St. Gabriel the Archangel
“I am Gabriel, who stands before God” Luke 1:9
The name Gabriel means "man of God”. The Angel Gabriel is one of the seven archangels, the messenger of divine comfort. Twice in the Book of Daniel he appears to interpret visions. Twice in Luke’s Gospel Gabriel appears to announce miraculous births; first to Zachariah, he announced the birth of St. John the Baptist, forerunner and cousin of Jesus. The Angel Gabriel appeared to the Blessed Virgin Mary with good news that she was to be the Mother of the Messiah. He explained to Mary that she would bear a Son who would be conceived of the Holy Spirit, Son of the Most High, and Savior of the world. Thus we see that Gabriel comes as the bearer of good tidings, the Angel of the Incarnation and of Consolation.
