Your name clearly shows the height of your rank, O luminous Gabriel: since you manifest God and man in your name, you have rightly appeared as a worthy servant of the God-man of the word. That’s why I magnify you with songs:
Rejoice, to whom the betrothed was soon betrothed;
Rejoice, in whom the Virgin was perceived.
Rejoice, having named the name of Jesus;
Rejoice, you who proclaim salvation to the world.
Rejoice, for you served Joseph the betrothed;
Rejoice, for you accompanied Jesus into Egypt.
Rejoice, you who called Christ from Egypt;
Rejoice, you have shown the city of Nazareth into habitation.
Rejoice, faithful and secret guide of the Magi;
Rejoice, you who delivered them from Herod.
Rejoice, by whom Jesus was preserved;
Rejoice, for it was Herod who was ridiculed.
Rejoice, messenger of grace.
