“As God’s messenger, Gabriel gives us courage to communicate and speak our truth peacefully.” The Angel of Promise and Good Tidings Archangel Gabriel hails as the famous angel who told Mary she would give birth to Jesus and to Elizabeth of the coming birth of John the Baptist. The name Gabriel means “God is my strength” and “hero of God.” The early Renaissance painter Fra Angelico depicts Gabriel in The Annunciation as female. Later images of her are representatively more male. Angels don’t have gender yet we experience them as having more male or female qualities. T his powerful archangel brings news of forthcoming events and new experiences on their way to us. Gabriel’s other divine duty is helping expectant mothers through all phases of childbirth, adop- tion and motherhood. As God’s messenger, Gabriel gives us courage to communicate and speak our truth peacefully. First to ourselves and then to others. She encourages us to take inventory of our lives. Are we living our truth? Have we put off things we really want to do? It could be spending more time in nature or with family and friends. Gabriel also supports any career involving communi- cating spiritual messages including actors, writers, journalists, musicians, singers and people who work in televi- sion and radio. Is there a message you’ve been called to express? Sitting on a book of poetry or perhaps the bones of a theatrical play? Did you begin writing a book years ago and your secret dream still whispers “write me…re- cord me?” Call on Gabriel for birthing your project and for whatever it takes to bring it to culmination. Picture your CD in your hands! See the title of your movie on the big screen! We get caught up in daily life…work, family and often our passions sit idling on the back burner and we leave them there. Gabriel asks “can you find a half hour to an hour to write?” How about devoting time every other Friday to your dream? Those heavenly delicious chocolate chip pecan cookies you absolutely love to bake for family and friends could be profit- able business venture. As we look at our lives under the shelter of Gabriel’s love and support, let’s bring light to career issues as well? How is your schedule flowing? Have you put off asking for a much deserved raise?
