The Chaplet of Saint Gabriel the Archangel



The Chaplet of Saint Gabriel the Archangel

The thirty three beads in three sets of eleven beads in honour of the years of our Saviour’s life.

On the first pendant bead say: Heavenly Father, through the salutation of the Archangel Gabriel, may we honour the Incarnation of Your Divine Son.

On the second pendant bead say: Mother of our Saviour, may we strive always to imitate your holy virtues and respond to our Father saying:  ’Be it done to me according to Thy Word.’

On the third pendant bead say: Archangel Gabriel, we ask that you offer praise to our Father for the gift of His Son, praying, one day, by His grace, we may all be one.

On each bead in the  three sets of eleven say: Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with Thee: Blessed art Thou amongst women.

On the first single bead after the group of eleven honour the divinity of Christ saying: Behold, thou shalt conceive in Thy womb, and shalt bring forth a Son: and Thou shalt call His Name Jesus.

On the second single bead after the group of eleven honour the humanity of Christ saying: Behold, thou shalt conceive in Thy womb, and shalt bring forth a Son: and Thou shalt call His Name Jesus.
