Saint Gabriel, rightly called the Strength of God, chosen to announce to Mary the mystery wherein the Almighty displayed His might, reveal to us the treasures hidden in the Person of the Son of God, and be our protector before His august Mother.

O Mary, Queen of Angels, and you, Saint Archangel Gabriel, with all your heavenly legions, accompany us, guide us, protect us, and preserve us from all snares of visible and invisible enemies.

Saint Archangel Gabriel, messenger of God’s mercy to poor humans, who greeted the Most Holy Virgin with: "Hail Mary, full of grace," and received her reply of profound humility, protector of souls, help us imitate her humility and obedience.

Saint Gabriel the Archangel, angel of the Incarnation, open our ears to the gentle warnings and urgent calls of the Lord. Stand ever before us, we implore, that we may understand God’s Word, follow and obey Him, and accomplish His will. Keep us watchful, so when the Lord comes, He finds us not asleep. Amen.
