There’s been grief in my family.
My son, who had a wife, a child, a good job, suddenly left everything and went to another family. They were drinking together. Then he got in touch with the bandits, went missing for weeks. And his life went to hell.
I was advised to go to the village of Gorodishche to the miraculous icon of the Mother of God, which I did. At church, I went to the priest and told him everything. He took me by the hand and led me straight to the icon of the “Swifter”.
I began to pray with tears.
When I got home, I saw my son there. He lived with me for two weeks, did not drink alcohol at all, kept silent, thought about something. Then he went to his wife and child. His wife forgave him and accepted him. After a while, he got a job, broke off relations with former “friends”.
Today, I came again to the icon of the «Swift-Aided One», and again with tears, but with tears of gratitude.
