Gabriel's Message
Updated 9 November 2026
God's messenger
In the Bible, Gabriel is the angel who carries God's messages. In 1951 Pope Pius XII named Saint Gabriel the patron of telecommunications.
A man who lost his voice
In the first chapter of Luke, Gabriel brings a message to Zechariah, an old priest, and Zechariah loses his voice. When his son is born, the family asks what the baby should be called. Zechariah asks for a writing tablet and writes his answer.
His name is John.Luke 1:63
In that moment his speech returns. He is the first person in the Gospel to speak with a tablet.
A work of charity
Gabriel's Message is made in that spirit, as a work of Catholic charity. The person who speaks with it never pays to speak.
