Have no anxiety at all, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, make your requests known to God. Then the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
Phil 4:6-7

And the Word was Made Flesh

.



The Annunciation
1645
Phillipe de Champaigne



"Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord. May it be done to me according to your word." Lk 1:38


"And the Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us, and we saw his glory, the glory as of the Father's only Son, full of grace and truth." Jn 1: 14



Prayer to the Angel Gabriel

O Captain and Leader of the armies of heaven,
unworthy as we are,
we beseech you without cease to surround us with your intercession
and cover us beneath the shelter of the glory of your ethereal wings.
We bend our knee and cry out with perseverance:
"Deliver us from danger, O Prince of the Powers on high!"
Amen.
