Why We Begin with the Hail Mary | St. Gabriel (24 March): Mercy & Justice

About this sermon

Why do we begin with the Hail Mary—and what is its true significance? In this sermon reflection, we explore the powerful role of St. Gabriel the Archangel, the angel who delivered the message of the Annunciation and spoke the very words that form the first part of the Hail Mary. As we approach the feast of the Annunciation (March 25), we reflect on Gabriel’s mission, the prophecy to Daniel, and how the angels participate in God’s plan of salvation. This talk dives deep into: The origin of the Hail Mary The role of St. Gabriel in salvation history The intelligence and will of angels The connection between justice (St. Michael) and mercy (St. Gabriel) God’s mercy revealed through the Incarnation We are reminded that the saints and angels are real persons—our future companions in Heaven—and that our prayers connect us to them in a living relationship. Let us thank St. Gabriel for his role in bringing us the Hail Mary and ask for his intercession as we strive for holiness. 👉 “Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee…” 00:00 – Opening & Why the Hail Mary 00:29 – Why Today is Special (St. Gabriel) 00:45 – The Origin of the Hail Mary 01:10 – Angels Are Real Persons 01:43 – God’s Plan & Gabriel’s Role 02:22 – Relationship with Angels & Saints 03:02 – Gabriel & the Annunciation 03:27 – Gabriel’s Prophecy to Daniel 04:00 – What Angels Know (St. Thomas Aquinas) 04:26 – What Angels Talk About 05:02 – Gabriel’s Two Missions 05:20 – Meaning of the Name Gabriel 05:45 – The “El” in Angel Names 06:02 – St. Michael vs St. Gabriel (Justice & Mercy) 06:26 – Humility = Truth 07:07 – Mercy After Judgment 07:45 – The Power of God in the Annunciation 08:02 – Christ Takes Our Judgment 08:33 – Call to Repentance & Grace 08:59 – Final Exhortation 09:08 – Closing Prayer Please remember to say 3 Hail Marys for the priest 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 Support Catholic Businesses here - https://sensusfidelium.com/catholic-businesses/ Sensus Fidelium Press - https://sensusfideliumpress.com/ Sensus Fidelium Apps - https://sensusfidelium.tv/ Support Sensus Fidelium - https://sensusfidelium.com/donate-support/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 🙏🏻PLEASE HELP OUR CHANNEL GROW 🙏🏻 ▶️ 1.
