Prayer to Saint Gabriel for Others

O loving messenger of the Incarnation,

descend upon all those for whom I wish peace and happiness.

Spread your wings over the cradles

of the new-born babes,

O thou who didst announce the coming of the Infant Jesus.

Give to the young a lily petal

from the virginal scepter in your hand.

Cause the Ave Maria to re-echo in all hearts

that they may find grace and joy through Mary.

Finally, recall the sublime words spoken

on the day of the Annunciation:

"Nothing is impossible with God,"

and repeat them in hours of trial,

to all I love,

that their confidence in Our Lord may be reanimated,

when all human help fails.

Amen.
