TESTIMONY

Before the Scheduled Operation

The Story of Lia Papiashvili · Tbilisi, Georgia

Following an examination, doctors discovered a breast tumour.

The oncologist insisted that surgery be carried out as soon as possible.

On the advice of those close to me, I first decided to visit Samtavro Monastery.

At the resting place of Saint Gabriel Urgebadze, I prayed to the Lord for a long time.

Mother Paraskeva blessed me and anointed me with the blessed oil.

A subsequent examination showed that the earlier abnormalities could no longer be found.

For me, this was a great mercy from God.

I give all glory for what happened to the Lord and thank Saint Gabriel as an intercessor and advocate before Him.

“Every good and perfect gift comes down from above—from the Lord.”

Glory to God for all things!

From the testimony of Lia Papiashvili. Tbilisi.
