St. Gabriel of Our Lady of Sorrows, Confessor

St. Gabriel, born at Assisi in 1838, was guided by our Lady into the Passionist Institute and became a veritable Apostle of her Sorrows. His life was throughout perfect and irreproachable. He died at the age of twenty-four and many miracles bore witness to his holiness. He was canonized by Pope Benedict XV, who gave him as a patron to young people.
