TESTIMONY

The Lord Granted Our Family a Long-Awaited Child

Kursk, August 2018

In February 2018, while in Kursk, I venerated an icon of Saint Gabriel Urgebadze with deep faith and fervently prayed to the Lord to grant our family a second child.

According to the doctors, there was virtually no hope; the likelihood of becoming pregnant was extremely small.

But the Lord willed otherwise.

That very same month, I received the joyful news that I was expecting a child.

Words cannot express the gratitude that filled our hearts. We received this as a great mercy of God granted to our family through the prayers of Saint Gabriel.

With gratitude to the Lord, we awaited the birth of our son, which was expected shortly before the feast day of our beloved saint.

“With all our hearts, we thanked the Lord for His mercy and for the prayerful intercession of Saint Gabriel.”

Glory to God for all things!
