In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

St. Gabriel the Archangel, I venerate you as the Angel of the Incarnation, because God has specially appointed you to bear the messages concerning the God-Man to Daniel, Zechariah, and the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Answered Prayers From This Novena
My son has a neuromuscular disability, and together—my husband, my son, and I—prayed a Novena to Archangel Gabriel, asking to understand ours and our son’s purpose in life. Many people have told us that there’s a special purpose, one meant to glorify the Lord.
After we finished the Novena, my sister, who had no idea we had been praying, sent us a short clip from The Chosen—where Jesus speaks to Little James. What Jesus said in that scene felt like a direct answer to our prayer. When I showed it to my son, he cried.
The message was clear: Be patient. The time will come. Even if healing doesn’t happen in this lifetime, it will come in Heaven. His suffering is part of his journey toward Heaven. We are not unloved, forgotten, or neglected. It was a powerful reminder that God’s plan for us, even with all its pain and uncertainty, is filled with love and purpose.
And what makes it even more special is that my sister’s baptism name is Gabriel. Not only did Jesus speak to us directly (even through an actor), but Archangel Gabriel (my sister’s name), also delivered the message to us!
from S.T.
My friend’s parcel arrived safely to me, and my own parcel arrived safely to her! In both cases there were delays that made us fearful that the parcel would be lost in transit, and my delay was even longer than hers. In the end, thankfully, nothing was lost.
