O God, who from among other Angels didst choose the Archangel Gabriel to announce the mystery of thy Incarnation: mercifully grant that we who celebrate his feast on earth may experience his protection from heaven. Who with God the Father in the unity of the Holy Spirit livest and reignest God, world without end.
℟.Amen.
