A Mother’s Prayer for Her Son

Tbilisi

My son suddenly became gravely ill.

He lost his hearing and sight and suffered from extremely severe headaches.

Soon, he could no longer get out of bed without assistance.

In search of help, I went to the monastery where Saint Gabriel Urgebadze rests.

At his grave, I fervently prayed to the Lord and took some blessed oil home with me.

After returning home, I recited the Lord’s Prayer every day and reverently anointed my son’s head in the sign of the Cross.

After some time, his condition began to improve.

Gradually, the illness receded.

Today, my son lives an ordinary life and drives a car independently.

Our family receives everything that happened as a great mercy of God.

“Glory to the Lord God for His ineffable mercy!”

Glory to God for all things!

From the testimony of the servant of God A. Tbilisi.
