The Angel of the Annunciation
According to the Holy Scriptures -Lk 1, 26-38-, he is the Archangel chosen by God to announce to Mary that she had been chosen to begin the predestined plan to show the world the way to Him, the Most High, through the salvation that His Son would grant as the Redeemer of the sins of His followers, For this reason, the Archangel Gabriel is historically known as the spokesman or messenger of God; he is also known as the Angel of the Annunciation and the patron saint of pregnant women, which is why he is included in the prayer to the Virgin of the Sweet Waiting.
The Angel Gabriel the Messenger of God
The Archangel Gabriel, or Angel Gabriel as he is called in the Catholic Bible, is considered to be the messenger of God because he was the one who revealed God’s plans to at least three characters of great importance in our biblical history. To the prophet Daniel, when he explained one of his visions, in -Dn 8:16-; to Zechariah, in -Lk; 1:19-, announcing the birth of the prophet John the Baptist, who would come to baptise the Son of God; and it was the archangel who announced to Mary, in -Lk; 1:31-, that she would give birth to a son: 31- to Mary that she would give birth to a son and that she would name him Jesus, is taken into account in the prayer to the Virgin of the Sweet Waiting, for its relation to the announcements of the birth of the Messiah.
The Archangel Gabriel enlightened by God
The Angel Gabriel is traditionally called Archangel, especially in the Book of Tobit, which is a term that denotes a high position in the hierarchy of angels, so it is one of the enlightened archangels of God to be before His presence, which is the light of the universe, are angels to whom God entrusts important missions among us, Gabriel is part of the power of God, -Dn 9: 21-, and he is the Archangel who knows the human spirit and therefore has the touch to transmit divine messages to us, so it is very important to include him in the prayer to the Virgin of sweet expectation, so effective and fruitful for life.
