TESTIMONY
A Return to Life
A severe illness had almost deprived me of all strength.
The doctors diagnosed cirrhosis of the liver.
My condition was so serious that I was carried on a stretcher directly from the hospital to Samtavro Monastery, to the resting place of Saint Gabriel Urgebadze.
There, I was carefully laid beside his grave.
After some time, something happened that no one had expected.
I rose to my feet without assistance and was able to sit near a tree close by.
For the first time in a long while, I felt hungry and asked for some food and water.
From that day onward, my condition gradually began to improve.
In time, my health was restored, and today I feel well.
I receive everything that happened as God’s mercy shown through the prayers of Saint Gabriel.
“I thank the Lord for His ineffable mercy and for the intercession of Saint Gabriel.”
Glory to God for all things!
