The Prayer of Parents and the Mercy of God

The Healing of a Young Child · Kursk, September 2018

An event occurred in our family that, even today, we receive with profound gratitude as a special mercy of God granted through the prayers of Saint Gabriel Urgebadze.

For a long time, our young child suffered from a severe allergy. Despite treatment and all the doctors’ efforts, the illness did not recede. The rash became progressively worse and eventually turned into painful, weeping sores that caused our little one constant suffering.

It was extremely painful to witness.

With no other hope, we turned to the Lord with all our hearts in fervent prayer, asking for help through the prayers of Saint Gabriel.

After praying, we reverently anointed the affected areas with oil blessed at his honourable relics.

By the next day, the sores had begun to dry noticeably.

One day later, the child’s skin was completely clear.

Our gratitude cannot be expressed in words.

We received what happened as God’s mercy and an answer to our family’s sincere prayer.

“Glory to God for all things! We thank Saint Gabriel for his prayerful intercession and ask him not to abandon our family in his holy prayers.”

Glory to God for all things!

From the testimony of a family from Kursk. September 2018.
