Patron of communications workers
The name Gabriel means "man of God," or "God has shown himself mighty." It appears first in the prophesies of Daniel in the Old Testament. The angel announced to Daniel the prophecy of the seventy weeks. His name also occurs in the apocryphal book of Henoch. He was the angel who appeared to Zachariah to announce the birth of St. John the Baptizer. Finally, he announced to Mary that she would bear a Son Who would be conceived of the Holy Spirit, Son of the Most High, and Saviour of the world. The feast day is September 29th. St. Gabriel is the patron of communications workers.

Happy St. Gabriel's Feast Day, everyone especially those who were born Monday just like I am.
I've been to Simala with my family yesterday sept.28 and there was a sort of booth with a sign saying: KNOW YOUR BIRTH ANGELS. I wanted to know mine but we were queuing up to pay homage to Mama Mary and kiss her. Today I just googled birth angels and found out mine was St. Gabriel. I also found out today is his Feast Day! I was like WOW! That's not just coincidence cuz I don't believe in that. Anyway happy St. Gabriel's Feast Day!

What a bunch of nonsense. Might as well believe in the Roman mythological gods. What's the difference ? None. Think about it. If you're really honest about it, you'll realize what a sham the Catholic Church is, and always has been.
Pray for my relationship with Josh. Hopefully he can communicate how he feels with me. Also pray for John under me.
Dear Gabriel: Your are both my son's and grandson's confirmation name. Both are in need of guidance and strength in their faith. My son needs to return to his faith; perhaps lead his family as well. My Grandson needs to strengthen his faith once again, and for his "Honor subjects" Help him always to have friends who are good examples, & chase away the ones who are not. Praise God for Angels. Amen
I will pray for Josh Aubrey.
