St. Gabriel Healing Oil
St Gabriel healing oil is in honor of Archangel Gabriel, the messenger of God.
St. Gabriel is God’s messenger for certain people. Also, he is one of the three archangels point out in the Bible. Gabriel point out in both the Old and the New Testaments of the Bible. First, in the Old Testament, Gabriel appears to the prophet Daniel to explain his visions. Also, Gabriel portrays as, “one who looked like man,” as he interprets Daniel’s visions. He speaks to Daniel while he is sleeping. After Gabriel’s first visit, Daniel becomes tired and sick for days. Subsequently, Gabriel visits Daniel again providing him with more insight and understanding in an answered prayer.
New Testament
In the New Testament, Gabriel, described as “an angel of the Lord,” first appears to Zacharias, the father of John the Baptist. He tells him, “Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard. Thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John. Thou shalt have joy and gladness, and many shall rejoice at his birth.” Luke 1:13.
Archangel Gabriel Visit Mary
After Elizabeth conceived and was six months pregnant, Gabriel appears again. The Book of Luke point out that God sent him to Nazareth to visit the virgin wed to a man Joseph. Gabriel said to Mary, “Hail, thou that art highly favored, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.” Luke 1:28.
“Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favor with God.
31 And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.
32 He shall be great, and shall know the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:
33 And he shall reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom, there shall be no end.” Luke 1:30-33
In addition, Gabriel told Mary she would conceive from The Holy Ghost and the baby will be the Son of God.
After the Annunciation of Mary, Gabriel is not told again.
Gabriel’s attributes are the Archangel; he is clothed in blue or white; and is seen carrying a lily, a trumpet, a shining lantern, a branch from Paradise, a scroll, or a scepter. In art, Gabriel is most commonly represented in the scene of the Annunciation.
However, he occasionally refers to as the one who blows God’s trumpet to indicate the Lord’s return to Earth. However, the person designated with this task varies; different passages cite different people. The earliest known identification of Gabriel as the trumpet holder comes in 1455 represented in Byzantine art.
In conclusion, Gabriel is well-known as the patron saint of messengers, telecommunication workers, and postal workers. His feast day is celebrated on September 29, along with St. Michael and St. Raphael.
Tradition of Oils
The tradition of anointing with sacred oil is very old indeed. It is cast-off in sacraments and also as a devotional practice. The sick person applies the oil and blesses themselves. As they do so, they ask to pray to whomever the oil point out. The Irish blessings oils do not have miraculous power. It is God who has the power to heal. Applying the oil while praying is an important way for us to express our faith in God’s power. Moreover, by doing so we place our trust in God.
Irish Blessings Oils
The Irish Blessings oils are point out to the Holy Spirit, Our Lady, and the saints. The oils come through prayer. They place the prayer before being sent out on their favored altars.
The oil shows on a prayer cloth with this card. The small card goes out with the larger card that has the prayer for healing on the inside. The cards change for the saint to whom the oil points out.
