TESTIMONY

Help in an Everyday Affliction

The Story of Giorgi Gelashvili · Ksani Correctional Colony, Georgia

For a long time, I suffered severe pain in my knees.

Walking became increasingly difficult.

I began praying to the Lord and reverently using oil blessed at the resting place of Saint Gabriel Urgebadze.

After some time, the pain gradually disappeared.

This experience strengthened my faith and taught me to turn to God more often in every circumstance of life.

“We thank the Lord for giving His Church such intercessors as Saint Gabriel.”

Glory to God for all things!

From the testimony of Giorgi Gelashvili. Ksani Correctional Colony, Zone No. 7.
