SAN GABRIEL:
"This Archangel is named several times in the Holy Bible. He was the one who announced to the prophet Daniel the time when the Redeemer was going to arrive. The prophet says thus: "Gabriel appeared to me from God and said to me: in seventy weeks of years (that is, 490 years) the Holy of Holies will appear" (Dan. 9).

The Archangel Saint Gabriel was entrusted with the highest mission ever entrusted to any creature: to announce the incarnation of the Son of God. That is why he is venerated much since ancient times.

His letter of introduction when he appeared to Zacharias to announce that he was going to have John the Baptist as his son was this: "I am Gabriel, who is in the presence of God" (Luke 1, 19).

Saint Luke says: "The angel Gabriel was sent by God to a city in Galilee, to a virgin named Mary, and coming to her, he said: 'Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you.' upon hearing that greeting, but the angel told her: 'Do not be afraid Mary, because you have found favor with God. You are going to conceive a son whom you will name Jesus. He will be the Son of the Most High and his Kingdom will have no end'".

Saint Gabriel is the patron saint of communications and communicators, because he brought the most beautiful news to the world: that the Son of God became man."
