Archangel Gabriel was chosen by God to announce to Mary that she was to be the Mother of Christ. In preparation for the Feast of the Annunciation tomorrow; these are some quotes from the Mass readings of today:
Psalm 102. 20 (Vulgate):
'Bless the Lord, all ye His Angels; you that are mighty in strength, and execute His word, hearkening to the voice of His orders. Bless the Lord O my soul, and let all that is within me bless His Holy Name.'
'O God, who from among all the Angels didst choose the Archangel Gabriel to announce the Mystery of Thine Incarnation: mercifully grant that we who keep his feast on earth may feel the effect of his patronage in heaven.'
Amen.
This following prayer is part of one attributed to St Augustine;
'St Gabriel, St Raphael, Holy Angels and Archangels, come to my aid. Choir of Virtues, be my help and my strength, that no enemy may be able to injure me either by water or fire, or while journeying; protect me from a sudden and unprovided death, and grant that I may be freed from all danger. Amen.'
Blessed be God.
'Hail Mary ...'
