Church Concerning St. Gabriel

A devotional depiction of Gabriel kneeling in prayer beneath sunlit stone arches, with white lilies nearby.
May our service on earth be joined to prayer before God.

May the offering of our service and the prayer of the blessed Archangel Gabriel be acceptable in Thy sight, O Lord; that he whom we venerate on earth, may be our advocate before Thee in heaven. Through Our Lord. Amen.
