In the name of the Holy and Blessed Trinity

Blessings to all the web-readers of Georgian Pilgrim Centre, Ichilampady, Puthur Tq, Karnataka.
Dearly Beloved,

Steadfastness in faith and courage in suffering are the two marks of true Christians or Devotees of God as we read in the Holy Bible(Acts 14;22). These two marks made St. George, our Patron Saint of this Pilgrim Centre, also glorious in Christ, in the Holy Church and among believers and others irrespective of caste and creed. The intercession of St. George like any other saints should lead us to true faith in God and willingness to suffer and lead a life of repentance, holiness, perfection that is perfected in perfect and selfless love and compassion or mercy.
