St. Gabriel the Archangel is perhaps the best known angel; he is the messenger of God, sent to tell Mary that she would give birth to Jesus and then appeared to Joseph to reassure him that it was still right and proper to marry Mary despite her sudden pregnancy. It is his most important duty to give direct messages from the Creator to His creation. Often depicted in religious art with a spear in his right hand and a mirror in the left, his name means ‘Man of God’. Unsurprisingly with his history as a messenger, Gabriel the Archangel is the patron saint of all types of messengers, including postal workers. He is one of only three angels mentioned by name in the Bible: the other two are the Archangel Michael and the fallen angel Lucifer.

Let the angels know your limitations and the ways you are struggling and need help. The mostly likely signs that your request has been seen and help is being provided is hearing or seeing Gabriel’s name in different places, you may see the Archangel Gabriel symbol of a trumpet or bugle, you may have a sudden flash of creativity or clarity, or you may see the white or copper of his aura.
