St. Gabriel is one of the three Angels honored by the Church with a special feast day. He is mentioned twice in the Book of Daniel (8:16; 9:21), and is called the “Strength of God”.
It was the Angel Gabriel who was sent to the priest Zachary, as he stood in the Temple at Jerusalem “on the right side of the altar of incense”, to announce that his wife Elizabeth would give birth to a son who would be the Precursor of the Savior. As Zachary was doubtful the Angel said to him: “I am Gabriel, who stand before God; and am sent to speak to thee, and to bring thee these good tidings. And behold thou shalt be dumb, and shalt not be able to speak until the day wherein these things shall come to pass, because thou hast not believed my words, which shall be fulfilled in their time”. (Luke 1:11-20.)
Appearance to Mary
St. Gabriel’s chief mission to mankind, however, was his appearance to the Blessed Virgin Mary at Nazareth, to inform her that she had been chosen by God to be the Mother of the Messiah. (Luke 1:26.) St. Gabriel is called the “Strength of God”, either because this title was his right, as herald of the power of God; or because it was his duty to comfort the Virgin, who was naturally timid, simple and bashful, lest she should be affrighted at the novelty of the miracle. This he certainly did by saying: “Fear not, Mary, for thou hast found grace with God”. Thus was Gabriel fitly chosen for this work; because he was entrusted with so great a mission, rightly was so great a name assigned to him.
Wearing a St. Gabriel medal is a prayer to God through the intercession of His great messenger to give us the strength to proclaim the Good News to the world.
