Visit of the Myrrh-streaming icon of the Mother of God "Softener of Evil Hearts" 2017

With the blessing of His Grace Bishop George of Canberra on January 23rd, a Myrrh-streaming icon of the Mother of God "Softener of Evil Hearts" arrived in our God-saved temple. The church was filled with divine grace, which came from the myrrh-streaming icon in response to the numerous prayers of our parishioners. About 100 parishioners came on Monday evening to venerate the icon of the Mother of God and receive anointing with oil miraculously poured out by the icon of the Holy Theotokos.

We are grateful to God for his generosity, and we are also grateful to the parish priest Father Alexandre, Father Nicholas, Father Lubomir, Father Veselin and Deacon John for their efforts in arranging the arrival of the shrine in our church, as well as for the gift of a copy of the icon "Softener of Evil Hearts" to our St. George Orthodox Church parish.

We pray to God for us sinners.
