A Daughter’s Hope and the Mercy of God

The Story of Madona Svanidze · Shemokmedi Village, Georgia

Doctors discovered a uterine tumour in my mother.

The news was a severe trial for our entire family.

With deep faith, she began turning to the Lord every day, asking for help through the prayers of Saint Gabriel Urgebadze.

For two months, my mother reverently used oil blessed at the saint’s resting place.

According to her testimony, she took no other medication during that period.

In time, her condition improved significantly and the illness receded.

For our family, this became a reason to thank the Lord even more fervently for His mercy and for Saint Gabriel’s prayerful intercession.

“Blessed be the name of the Lord for ever and ever.”

Glory to God for all things!

From the testimony of Madona Svanidze. Shemokmedi Village.
