Miracles from aviation
Here we are again, my dears!

What do I want to tell you now?
Recently I heard a miracle of

the Mother of God, told by the very
person who lived it.

Bless the Mother of God in
whatever you do!

Within the Greek army worked a young
woman, who often had missions by

helicopter. She never went on a mission
without praying to the Mother of God.

Moreover, she had a friend, abbess at
a monastery, from whom she asked

for blessing before any mission. And
the mother said to her: "Let the Mother

of God help you to go well and come
back safe!". She always went on a mission

with prayer and hope in the Mother of God.
Cry to the Mother of God

And so, the night before leaving for
a mission, she called the mother abbess

and asked for her blessing, and in the
morning she left. Flying along with

the helicopter crew, at one point she
entered a rather large cloud, formed

in the area of a mountain peak. The crew
did not realize it and they crashed into

the mountain, and the helicopter exploded.
She was also injured, but she started

shouting: "Mother of God, help me!", at
which point she saw the Mother of God

that she took her in her arms together
with the chair she was on, plucked her

from the wreckage and took her to a bush
where she placed her with the chair too.

She said that she felt like a child at the
mother's bosom, and the Mother of God

said to her: "Rest assured, it will be
fine!", after which she went unseen.

Meanwhile the wreckage was located.
The rest of the crew had died in the crash

only she had survived. She was taken to
the hospital, where the Mother of God

appeared to her again and told her not
to be afraid because she would always

be with her and that she would be fine.
After a few days of admission, she came

out of the hospital and recounted
afterwards what happened and how

the Mother of God saved her. Do you see
what her hope and faith in the Mother of

God meant? And the faith in the blessing
of the abbess that she always demanded

when she went on a mission? It was like
a covering, like a blessing to her. All of

this happened in 2018. Do you see how
many miracles are still being done today?

Mother of God took the plane in her arms
I'll tell you another miracle done a few

years ago, which I learned from a lady.
I've written about it in one of my books

and I think I've also told it. But because
it has reached my heart, I will tell it

again for those who have not read it or
who have not heard it.

A group from Greece went to Jerusalem
with a priest. All had confessed before,

in Jerusalem they went with all godliness
to the holy places, they all took

communion. After about a week they
left back. In Tel Aviv, when they boarded

the plane, they noticed that it had
fluctuations in the electrical current,

the lights were turning on and off... it
took a little while, but they announced

that everything was fine and that they
could leave. They took off and after they

got into the heights... The lady who
recounted all this was sitting on a window

seat. At one point she saw that the engine
on the left side caught fire and was

burning in flames. A small jolt was felt,
but no one had realized what had happened.

The lady was traveling with her mother,
and at that moment she began to talk to

her to divert her attention to not
somehow get scared and something

bad to happen with her heart. Shortly
after, the pilot announced the passengers

that they did not have to panic that they
had lost one engine, but that they would

continue their flight with the other
engine. They flew some more and

the plane shook again, and people on
the other side started shouting that

the engine on the right was burning.
You realize, with one engine you can

make it, but when both are broken...
The pilot announced that they had also

lost the other engine and that they were
trying to return to Tel Aviv,

the distance being less than to Greece.
The Oratory of the Mother of God saves

from great dangers!
Then the priest in their group stood up

and said to all of them: "Brethren, do not
be afraid! Pray to the Mother of God

and confess your sins to one another
and he has given them absolution."

You know, it was the last moments.
The pilots had turned the plane around,

but it was losing altitude quickly. Then
the children told the parents all

the mistakes and injustices, the parents
told the children. They said everything

they had on their conscience. They were
aware that they had maybe a few

minutes left and that's it!... Then the
parent cried out: "Let's sing the Oratory

of the Mother of God!". Those on the left
sang the Oratory, and those on the right

sang the Prayer, but with tears, with all
their heart! Those of other faiths were

scared, they had no support, they were,
as they say, almost without God, and

they looked at the Orthodox Christians
and said: "These guys went crazy! They

see that we are crushing and they
start singing."

And the Christians sang with all their
hearts! The father then stood up and

said to them: "Brethren, I say to you with
my hand on my heart! I see the Mother of

God holding the plane in her arms!" And
at that moment they felt that the plane

had lost the speed at which it was falling
and gently, slightly calmed down as if it

was flying normally. You realize, when
the father said that the Mother of God

was holding the plane in her arms, they
all began to sing with even more

love and to thank her.
The plane was carried on the arms of

the Mother of God
And the plane flew like this without

engines, just hovering in the arms of
the Mother of God until they reached

Tel Aviv. At the airport they were
expected, all of which were ready for

the arrival of the plane without engines.
The stewardesses panicked, one of

them kept unwrapping a yogurt, started
it and threw it away, another kept closing

and opening a drawer, as if they
were without God!

That lady asked a stewardess if they were
falling, and she nodded affirmatively,

hinting that they had no chance. And yet
the Mother of God took the plane in her

arms, took it to Tel Aviv and did not land
it normally, as the planes that run a few

hundred meters until they stop usually
land, but was placed on the runway of

the airport, without anyone moving in
the plane as they do when they brake.

How carefully the Mother of God behaved!
She took the plane in her arms and

placed it on the runway of the airport...
The rescues came, they took the panicked..

even the Orthodox had their throats dried
out of fear... they were all exhausted.

They were given the first care, and after
a day they were given another

plane and returned.
Said the woman who recounted that

on the news they only said that there were
problems on a plane and that they were

solved well, without any details about
the miracle that happened, although it

was impossible for a plane left without
engines to return to the airport. She also

said that after this incident she was no
longer interested in anything, neither

the worries nor the material needs... she
was in a state of peace and tranquility,

she realized that none of the earthly
things had value. She was a few

moments away from her life being all over.
The state of peace and tranquility lasted

for several weeks, but after a while, with
the worries and the job, everything

returned to normal... but she will never
be able to forget what she lived and how

the Mother of God saved them!
Pray to the Mother of God in all that you

do!... And don't forget to thank Her!
Have you seen what the Mother of God

can do? That's why we should never leave
her, let's shout at her because she always

waits for us with open arms to help us,
to always guard us, to hold us in her

arms like a mother, to take care of us so
that nothing bad to hurt us. And now

in these times, with all the madness of
the world, know that hope is with

the Mother of God! Let's shout at her with
all our hearts and she'll never leave us.

And I repeat what I have said many times,
the icon of the Mother of God to not miss

to any Christian, keep the candle lit and
always when leaving home ask her

"Mother of God, take care of me!", on
your return kiss the icon again and say

"Thank you, Mother of God for taking
care!" and you will see that the Mother

of God really takes care of us.
Look, here with us it's quite warm, you

can see that I didn't even get dressed,
the orchard is full of crocuses, it's like

spring, so it's warm and beautiful. As I
say, it's the garden of the Mother of

God! The Mother of God takes care of
everything that exists here, not only of

us humans. Everything that grows, of
animals, of flowers, of birds, she takes

care of everything! May the Mother of
God help us, to keep us safe and to have

a lot of confidence in Her! God help us!
