Saint Gabriel of Samtavrus (Urgebadze)
Once Father Gabriel asked his spiritual sister what she would do if she saw Christ being led to Golgotha. “I would cry,” she replied. “And I would sacrifice myself,” said the elder. He held the love of Christ in his heart as firmly as Saint Sidonia held the tunic of Christ. It was probably no coincidence that he grew up on a street called Saint Sidonia Street before the Bolsheviks. Sometimes he would say words that, if spoken by someone else, would cause great embarrassment, but words spoken from the heart took on a different meaning in his mouth.
From the book “The Diadem of Elder Gabriel.”
