We all have moments when neither relatives nor we ourselves can help ourselves. And like a straw, like the last possible lifeline, at such moments people grab at prayers, images of saints, looking for help, support, patronage in heaven. John of Kronstadt is one of those legendary personalities who, even after their physical death, are our support.
The story of a saint
Why does prayer to John of Kronstadt have tremendous healing power? Probably because the saint himself, by his deeds, righteous life and deep, sincere faith, deserved the blessing of the Lord. From early childhood he knew the need, for he was born into a poor family. Therefore, the sin of acquisitiveness did not stick to John, and he himself, content with the smallest and most essential all his life, always sympathized with the poor and shared the last with them. And if now from the lips of the unemployed, the needy, the poorheartfelt prayer will flow to John of Kronstadt, for sure his difficult situation will be resolved in the most positive way. You just need to believe: the saint will help! And without faith, little can be obtained from higher powers! By the way, as a child, John could not learn the wisdom of teaching. He could hardly manage to put the letters into syllables, and the boy repeatedly asked his father not to harass the miserable pennies torn from his family for his education. But the child himself tearfully appealed to the Lord to reward him with talents for learning. And a miracle happened! Over time, Father John became not just one of the most literate Russian priests, but one of the most educated and intelligent people of his time, a theologian, historian, philosopher, and religious scholar. And this is international! Isn't it an instructive example! So the prayer to John of Kronstadt, uttered at the sacred hour, reaches the addressee and has the same response from the saint! Becoming an Orthodox pastor, he could do a lot. He found such words of consolation for the suffering, upon hearing which, a person literally gained a new life, soared in spirit. He healed such hopeless patients who were refused by doctors. And all this happened because the holy father himself always and in everything trusted in God, trusted Him in all situations.
Accordingly, the prayer to John of Kronstadt will be heard! The miracles that the Lord performs at the request of his faithful servant surprise and touch even the most skeptical minds. No wonder the priest was always surrounded by the people, tothey tried to get him to confession, asked for advice.
The benefits of the inspired word
What can a prayer to St. John of Kronstadt do? Without exaggeration, we say: everything! Are you surprised? But thousands of testimonies prove it! Cancer patients were able to avoid surgery, the severity of chemotherapy, recovery periods, applying to his relics. In people with burns, even severe ones, wounds healed faster when they were smeared with oil taken from a lamp near the image. Prayer to the righteous John of Kronstadt raises hopeless patients to their feet, makes it possible to arrange their personal lives, safely endure and give birth to a he althy baby. Work will begin to argue, material stability will come (not we alth, but the necessary prosperity) and much more that is needed in order to feel happy.
Try to live righteously, with a pure heart, pray, and it will be given to you!
