Question from Miranda Fontenot on 10/25/2009:

My son is doing a project on Saints and he picked St. Gabriel the Archangel. He is supposed to list the date of birth, date of death etc... My question is how is Saint Gabriel a saint if he was never born but created by God. Can you please explain this to us?

Thanks for your time!!

Miranda Fontenot

Answer by Richard Geraghty on 11/1/2009:

Dear Miranda,

Though an angel is created and not born, he has the power to choose God or not. St. Michael chose God. Therefore he is a saint.
