| If you're wondering why I chose Gabriel for my 'handle' on my website. I thought I would tell you why and then alittle about him. |
| I chose Gabriel becasue 1) He's my Guardian Angel....and 2) His name means 'God is my strength'. So here's alittle information on my Gaurdian Angel...... |
| St. Gabriel, the Archangel Feastday: September 29 The bearer of God's secret messanges to His chosen ones. Gabriel is one of the two highest ranking angels. He is the Archangel of annunciation, humanity, ressurection, heavenly mercy, vengence, death, revelation, truth and hope. He is also the Angel of mercy, dreams, apriations, bringer of news, and maker of change. His name first appears in the prophecies of Daniel in the Old Testament. Also in the apocryphal book of Henoch |
| His most famous message that he delivered was when he announced the Mary that she would bear a Son who would be conceived by the Holy Spirit. Also, In her court testimony, Joan of Arc, credits Gabriel of being her inspiration to challenge the King of France. In legends of birthing, Gabriel had been accredited as the Angel who selects souls from Heaven to be birthed into the material world. He spends the 9 months as the child is being developed informing the new person of what she/he will need to know on Earth, only to silence the child before birth by pressing his finger onto the child's lips, thus producing the cleft below our noses. Also according to legend, it is Gabriel who will blow the horn announcing the second coming of Christ. |
| Gabriel presides over Paradise and is the ruling Angel of the First Heaven. Primarily though, he is the Messenger of God, bringing divine announcements and revelations to human kind (such as that to Mary), acting as an intermediary between Heaven and Earth and helping us to interpret our dreams and visions. He grants wishes and hopes to humans, as well as, joy, mercy, understanding of mysteries, truth, justice, miracles, and love. Gabriel's Prayer..... "Gabriel, Angel of Life, enter my limbs and give me strength to my whole body." |
