Hail, O Gabriel, sublime spirit of light and beauty! The Lord blessed you when He created you, more perfect than all creatures in celestial glory, breathing into you the spirit of strength. Chosen among all angels, sent by the King of kings to announce the Eternal’s great work— the Incarnation of the Word and humanity’s redemption. Saint Gabriel the Archangel, God’s ambassador and guardian angel of the Virgin Mary, who stand before Her throne, pray for us sinners, that after greeting your Queen with the Rosary as you greeted Her in Nazareth, we may, with Her, behold you at the hour of our death. Amen.
