Who is
Saint Gabriel of
the Sorrowful Mother?
Gabriel joined the Passionist Order and became a devoted
"apostle of Our Lady's sorrows." To be close to Jesus, he believed one must
honor His Mother. He prayed for the gift of devotion to Mary. He died at age 24
after only six years as a religious. His life was ordinary, but, after death
many miracles have occurred at his tomb. Many miracles credited to him are
those in which not only physical, but, also spiritual cures occurred. Through
his intercession, many a lost soul has returned to Jesus and His Church. Some of The Miracles attributed to the
Intercession of St Gabriel A woman suffering
from acute tuberculosis dreamed Our Lady told her to ask
Gabriel to intercede. Her uncle gave her a relic of the saint and told her to
vow to go barefoot to his tomb if cured. She fell asleep while praying and woke
totally cured. With her village, she walked barefoot the five miles to the
saint’s tomb. God was no longer part
of his life, so a 71 year old man, paralyzed for 12 years,
no longer prayed. On an impulse, he went to the church by the tomb of Gabriel.
and went to confession. Days later, in tears, the man told the priest, "St.
Gabriel cured my ailments, touched my heart, and brought me back to God. How do
I show my thanks to God for so many blessings?" |
Words of
Saint Gabriel of the Sorrowful Mother
Love Mary! She is loveable, faithful, constant. If you are
in need, she will help you. She does not look to see what kind of person you
have been. She simply comes to a heart that wants to love her. Prayer to Saint Gabriel of the Sorrowful Mother Dear Saint Gabriel of the Sorrowful Mother, God inspired you to love the passion of Jesus as reflected in the heart of Mary. Be with us in trial. Be with youth, and with souls lost in this world so they might find their way to Jesus. Amen.
"Not half of the
miracles worked by God through His servant [Gabriel] are kept on record, and
yet, today over 400 have been recorded."
