Prayer to Saint Gabriel

[Dawn Marie]

This is the prodigious image venerated in Firenze, in the Ritiro delle Ancille of the Incarnation in Montalvo in Ripoli.

O most faithful executor of the highest arcana of the Divinity, glorious Archangel Saint Gabriel, from your luminous seat in Heaven, turn a benign gaze upon us, your unworthy devotees, who turn to you in supplication for help, while anguish surrounds us on all sides.

Holy Archangel, do not deprive us of your protection in these calamitous times. We are convinced that by our sins we have irritated the justice of God, and we confess that the Most High can do nothing but scourge us. Our sins and those of the whole world, which far outnumber the sands of the sea, should by now have compelled the Lord to precipitate us into the abyss which He destines for His rebels; but since by His immense goodness we still live, hear us, O Holy Archangel, while from the depths of our misery, with the most intense feelings of compassion, we beseech Thee to obtain mercy for us.

Remember, O our most special Advocate, that we are children of that God who entrusted to you the embassy of the Virgin, that we are the price of that blood which was coined in Mary's womb as a consequence of your annunciation, and that we have been endowed with the charisms of that Spirit who concluded the work of the Incarnation. (Do not forget, moreover, the special protection of which we are the object, as a consequence of the wonders that, in the midst of this Community, God allowed you to work through this Image of yours, to which we genuflect and venerate obediently).

All this, then, commits you to pray for us, that the scourges we fear may depart from these lands of ours; that the infidels, heretics and all who conspire against Holy Religion may be converted; that all who live in darkness and in the shadow of death, because they are asleep in their sins, may be enlightened; and, finally, that iniquity may depart from all, and eternal justice may reign in all.

We confess that it would be an offense to you, O Holy Archangel, if we were to doubt for a single instant that you are here present to commend us to the Most High, and, groaning in this valley of tears, we place all our trust in your mediation.

Make propitious to us the Blood of the Divine Lamb shed for our salvation. Make propitious for us the great Mother of God and our Mother, Mary Most Holy, because she is the Mother of sinners, and finally obtain for us to live in such a way as to always satisfy that God in whose hands our destiny is placed, to attain in your company the crown of glory. Amen.
