"The prayers of the saint raised her from the dead" - the testimony of a family who experienced a miracle

We, the Korobitsin family, testify to a clear miracle: the resurrection of our little girl Xenia from the dead by the venerable Kuksha of Odessa.

This happened in 1995, that is, on the night of the second day of the Nativity of Christ [in the old style, that is, on the night of January 7-8].

My little girl, who was then two years old, named Xenia, unexpectedly fell ill. Her temperature suddenly rose to 39 degrees Celsius and continued to rise, despite all my efforts to bring it down. She began to have convulsions. My mother, Xenia's grandmother, who was a doctor by profession, took Xenia by the hand and, seeing her extremely serious condition, asked me to call an ambulance. I called the ambulance. Suddenly, Xenia calmed down in her grandmother's arms. The grandmother began to consult her granddaughter. Her heart stopped beating. Life had left the child. When I returned, my mother said to me, “There is no need for rescue. It is already too late…”

Realizing that my little girl had died, I, in a state of despair, knelt before the icon of the Savior and began to pray with tears: “Lord! I am a sinner! Take my life, but leave this child’s life!”

After that, I lit incense and fell around the little girl. Suddenly, I remembered that on the day of the glorification and canonization of the venerable Kuksha of Odessa (October 22, 1994), at the Dormition of the Mother of God monastery, I had received fragments of the venerable’s vestment and relic. I took these fragments and placed them on the little girl’s forehead. Xenia took a deep breath and completely came to life. Life had returned. When the little girl came to, she, pointing to the icon of the venerable one, said to me: “Give me Kusha! (Kuksha)”.

When the doctor from the ambulance arrived and examined my little girl, he did not believe that the child had been clinically dead before he arrived, and he did not find the little girl’s condition so serious. We called this day Xenia’s second birthday.

(7.04.2000, testimony signed by Xenia's mother, the servant of God Marina, and Xenia's grandmother, the servant of God Olga, from the city of Odessa)

The Holy Sacrament of Confession and Communion with the Body and Blood of our Savior, Jesus Christ

Image
Although I am not a theologian, I chose to make a small post about the Holy Sacrament of Confession and the Communion with the body and blood of the Savior, Jesus Christ, in order to bring once again to mind their immense importance for our physical, but especially spiritual life. Before sacrificing Himself on the cross, the Son of God, Jesus Christ, instituted, at the Last Supper, the Eucharist, or the Communion with His body and blood: Matthew 26: 26-28 During the meal Jesus took some bread in his hands. He blessed the bread and broke it. Then he gave it to his disciples and said, “Take this and eat it. This is my body.” Jesus picked up a cup of wine and gave thanks to God. He then gave it to his disciples and said, “Take this and drink it. This is my blood, and with it God makes his agreement with you. It will be poured out, so that many people will have their sins forgiven. Also, after His resurrection, Jesus gave the apostles the Holy Spirit and the power to forgive and retain peo...

Prayer - the key to another world

Image
Since I discovered prayer, I can say that I have found myself again, but not in any way, but much stronger . Prayer is the key to God's world, a world full of love, freedom, patience, mercy, forgiveness, hope, faith , and other wonderful qualities. A world in which I certainly want to live, as well as all those close to me (including those who are asleep), and not only (but since I am not the one who decides on behalf of others, all I can do is pray for them). This world of prayer is not an imaginary one, but one as concrete as possible. A world in which God, the Mother of God, and the saints listen to our prayers and, if they are useful to us, at the right time, they are also fulfilled. Prayers to the Mother of God and to the saints are intercessory prayers, in which we ask them to intercede for us before the Lord Jesus Christ, so that He, in His omniscience, may decide whether or not to fulfill the prayers addressed to Him by us. Prayer is the food of the soul . Also, with the h...

Perseverance in the face of illness and in life

Image
Having experienced illness (in my case depression ) I can say that perseverance played an important role in getting me back to a somewhat normal level of living. Of course, in the face of illness we are all helpless. But also, God does not give us more than we can handle, and with His help, we can overcome everything. All we have to do is move forward, with our head first, having the hope that God is holding our hand and that He will break down any door that seems unopenable. By these doors, I mean the different stages of an illness, whatever it may be, or of some experiences or feelings in our lives. In my case, there were several doors that I felt I could no longer open, but I persevered, prayed, and tried endlessly, until the doors collapsed before me. Especially in the case of depression, the symptoms can be so strong that the sufferer can even commit suicide. That is why I maintain so loudly and strongly that we must cling with our whole being to God, Who is love and kindness, mer...
