Relief After Common Prayer

The Story of Artur Sukasyan · Ksani Correctional Colony, Georgia

For a long time, I suffered from a gastric ulcer.

During attacks, the pain became almost unbearable.

On 2 January, one such attack was especially severe.

The brothers beside me suggested that we first turn to the Lord in prayer.

Together we recited the Lord’s Prayer. I was then anointed in the sign of the Cross with oil blessed at the resting place of Saint Gabriel Urgebadze and was given a small amount of it.

The pain gradually subsided.

Since then, the attacks have not returned.

I thank the Lord for everything I experienced and for strengthening me through the prayers of His saint.

“In every sorrow, let us first seek help from the Lord.”

Glory to God for all things!

From the testimony of Artur Sukasyan. Ksani Correctional Colony, Zone No. 7.
