Stories of people who received help, consolation and healing through prayer. At the centre of each of them is not the miracle itself but the Lord, who showed His mercy. The saints are our intercessors before God, and the source of every healing is God Himself. Read, give thanks together with the authors and pray for one another.
WHERE THESE STORIES COME FROM
For many years Nun Maria (Glushchenko), a resident of the dependency of the Holy Dormition Convent in Kemerovo, has collected the stories of people who received help through the prayers of St Gabriel (Urgebadze).
With her blessing and kind permission we publish a selection of these testimonies. Each story is the living testimony of a person who experienced God's mercy after turning in prayer to St Gabriel.
