About the Archangel St. #Gabriel
Dear members of John's Repentance service, today is the monthly feast if St. Gabriel and so we send you the bellow writing so you can partake of this day's blessings.
Gabriel, whose name from yonder Heavens is an incantation unto itself, embodies the clarion voice of the Lord, signifying “Strength of God.” This celestial herald, with the countenance of a thousand suns and wings unfurled across the firmament, was chosen amongst the angelic throng for a divine purpose. 'Twas on a blessed Sunday, when the stars bowed in silence, that Gabriel defied the darkness of deceit that dared to tarnish God's creation. In this eternal struggle, his palm was seared with purifying flame, a testament to his unyielding devotion.
Thereupon, the Almighty, in His boundless wisdom, did elect Gabriel as the messenger, to deliver tidings of great portent to the Virgin Mary. “Hail, thou that art highly favored, the Lord is with thee,” did Gabriel proclaim, as celestial light cascaded upon Mary, the blessed among women. Thus, the Annunciation was etched into the tapestry of time, woven with the golden threads of divine decree.
The echoes of yore bring forth the tale of Ananias, Azarias, and Misael, brave souls cast into a furnace of fury by Nebuchadnezzar, whose hubris did defy the Heavens. Clad in innocence, their spirits unyielding to despair, they turned their gaze to the Heavens, invoking the intercession of their Creator. Lo, Gabriel descended upon this fiery crucible, his countenance casting shadows upon the raging inferno. His voice, like the murmur of a gentle stream, infused courage into their hearts, as his celestial aura extinguished the flames.
Mighty Gabriel, clad in resplendence, waved his staff and parted the roaring fire, evoking the parting of the Red Sea by Moses through God's grace. The sacred triumvirate, singing praises, tread through the embers unscathed. “Blessed art Thou, O Lord, God of our fathers,” their voices harmonized with the heavenly choirs, a chorus of salvation.
King Nebuchadnezzar beheld this divine spectacle in awe, as the fourth figure within the inferno appeared likened unto a Son of God. His heart, once stone, became flesh, and he cried out in jubilation, acknowledging the sovereignty of the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.
Ye humble souls, take heed, for in the hour of our lamentation and tribulation, if we call upon the Holy Archangel Gabriel with hearts unburdened by sin, he shall arrive with divine swiftness. His presence is as a fortress, impregnable and steadfast. However, should we tread the path of iniquity, his countenance remains beyond our grasp, for his devotion is eternally to the Holy Name.
Therefore, let us be emboldened by Psalm 91:11, “For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.” Let us be vigilant and steadfast in our faith, calling upon the Archangel Gabriel to shield and guide us through the fires of this earthly sojourn, towards the eternal embrace of the Almighty.
May the blessings of the Holy Archangel Gabriel, protector, and messenger, grace your journey, as you, in sacred steps, walk the path ordained by Heaven’s boundless love.
May the name of the Holy God be praised forever and ever in every language that He has created, today and always.
May the blessings of the Holy Mother of God, the Virgin, and the Cross be upon us. Amen.
