Miraculous healing of the mute in the Docheiariou monastery

"Inside Her home, at the Holy Monastery of Docheiariou on Mount Athos, where daily the revered Abbot Elder Gregory with the brotherhood of the monastery chant the Supplication Canon to Her grace and commemorate hundreds of names on behalf of the health of the living and the repose of the dead, one of our fellow men was praying in Her chapel where he received in actuality the grace of the Panagia Gorgoepikoos ("She who is Quick to Hear"), who quickly and obediently listens and has mercy on all who reverently call upon Her with faith," said the monk.

According to the witness, an 18-year old young man from e city of Stromnitsa, who had problems speaking, went to the Holy Monastery of Docheiariou to venerate the miraculous icon of Panagia Gorgoepikoos. When he arrived at the monastery and stood before the icon, although the young man had never spoken in his life before, he started crying out with articulate words in his native language: "Mother All-Holy, grant me my health!"

At that moment everyone who knew the case of the young man was surprised by the incident. By the end of the prayers, which the undisturbed hieromonk continued to read, the young man turned to all those who were present praying with him and said: "I thank all of you; already I feel very well."

This is yet another display of the miraculous power of the Panagia Gorgoepikoos of the many which take place on a daily basis to the faithful of Greece and beyond, who chant her supplications: "Hail, Lady the Merciful, our help and salvation of our souls! "
