The Gospel of the day speaks about the Angel Gabriel

Angel Gabriel was sent by God, with a wonderful message to Mother Mary 

Gabriel means means "God is my strength" or "man of God"

Angel Gabriel's mission was to communicate the goodnews to others 

*2) Angel Gabriel and Mary*

Angel Gabriel was sent by God, to communicate a very important message to our Blessed Mother 

Mary accepted the message from God, through Angel Gabriel and offered herself for the mission of the Lord 

Through Angel Gabriel, God gave a new direction to the life of Blessed Mother 

*3) Angel Gabriel in our Life*

Like the life of Mary, God sends angel Gabriel in our life, in different context 

Mary recognized the Angel Gabriel, and accepted the message and the plan of God 

When we recognize the Angel Gabriel, in our life we are able to accept the plan of God in our life and we are able to do wonderful things in our life 

*4) The Various Forms of Angel Gabriel*

There is no doubt that God sends the Angel Gabriel in our day to day life with a divine message. How to recognize this angel. The possible ways are the following 

The angels message through the Holy Scriptures

The angels message through the practice of Gospel values like forgiveness, humility, love, sacrifice, simplicity, truthfulness, faithfulness etc 

*5) Angel Gabriel and My life*

What is my relationship with angel Gabriel? 

Will I be able to recognize His presence in my life with a divine message? 

Will I be able to accept the divine message in and through the Angel Gabriel?

What are the hurdles to accept the divine message in and through the Angel Gabriel?
