The Greatest Angel's Visit The most important messenger that ever came from Heaven was the Angel Gabriel. I'm sure you remember how that happened. The Son of God was coming to earth to save us. He had been promised long ago by God to Adam and Eve. He came now to fulfill a promise. So the Angel Gabriel came down to the house of a lovely little maiden named Mary. He knelt before her because she was so pure and good. He said, "Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee." Then he told her that she was going to be the Mother of God. Jesus the Savior was coming to earth. Men would be made friends of God again. This was the most important message ever told on earth. For Jesus did come, and Mary became His Mother, and Jesus lived and died to save us all. That is why the visit of the Angel Gabriel means so much to us. His Feast is March 24th. |
