The Power of Common Prayer

The Story of Malkhaz Bluashvili · Ksani Correctional Colony, Georgia

In prison, even the simplest medical care can be difficult to obtain.

When I developed severe toothache, I asked Vasili Narindoshvili to pray with me.

After the prayer, he anointed me with oil blessed at Saint Gabriel’s resting place.

The pain soon subsided.

This event strengthened my conviction that the Lord never leaves a person without His help.

I also witnessed many prisoners finding spiritual consolation and growing stronger in faith.

“All glory belongs to the Lord, while the saints are our intercessors before Him.”

Glory to God for all things!

From the testimony of Malkhaz Bluashvili. Ksani Correctional Colony, Zone No. 7.
