Following a Pilgrim’s Advice

Another Testimony About the Gift of a Child · Tbilisi, Georgia

A woman I knew had endured a severe trial.

Several of her pregnancies had ended in the loss of the child.

At that time, a pilgrimage group from Greece was visiting Georgia.

When one of the priests learned of her sorrow, he said:

— You have a great holy place—the resting place of Saint Gabriel Urgebadze. Go there and pray to the Lord.

She followed his advice.

With sincere faith, she went to Samtavro Monastery, prayed for a long time, and entrusted her sorrow to God.

Some time later, the Lord granted her another pregnancy.

We received this as a great consolation and as the mercy of God shown through the prayers of Saint Gabriel.

“Nothing is impossible for God when a person entrusts their life to Him with hope.”

Glory to God for all things!
