Congratulations to the Archangel Gabriel. Today's your day, my man. Well...my angel.
A little known fact is that in addition to being an angel, Gabriel was a saint too. Saint Gabriel is known as the archangel of the Annunciation, the man (or saint) (or angel) who brought Mary the good news that she was about to become an unwed teen mother.
As such, Gabriel earned the right to be the patron saint (or patron angel) of messengers, postmen, telephone workers, and radio and telegraph operators. And today's his saint's day.
Presumably in the digital age, St Gabe's role would encompass digital communications such as instant messaging and voice over IP and maybe even blogging. And that's a frightening thought. The guy (or saint or angel) who called Mary thrice blessed among women may actually be peering over my shoulder as I type this.
Armageddon! (As in, Ah'm a-gettin' outta here!)
