History of the saint
Why the prayer of John of Kronstadt hasgreat healing power? Probably because he himself deserved the blessing of the Lord by his holy deeds, his righteous life and deep, sincere faith. From early childhood he knew need, because he was born in a poor family. Therefore, the sin of money-grubbing did not come to John, and he himself, being satisfied with the smallest and most vital life, always sympathized with the poor and shared with them the last. And if now a heartfelt prayer to John of Kronstadt from the lips of an unemployed, needy, needy person will probably be resolved in the most positive way. Only need to believe: a saint will help! And without faith, there is little to be gained from the higher powers! By the way, as a child, John could not assimilate the wisdom of the teaching. He hardly managed to fold the letters into syllables, and the boy repeatedly asked his father not to harass him for his miserable pennies, separated from the family. But the child himself tearfully appealed to the Lord to reward him with talents for training. And a miracle happened! Over time, Father John became not just one of the most educated Russian priests, but one of the most educated and cleverest people of his time, a theologian, historian, philosopher, religious scholar. And this is at the international level! Is not that an instructive example? Here is the prayer to John of Kronstadt, uttered at the innermost hour, reaches the addressee and has a similar response from the saint! Becoming an Orthodox pastor, he could very much. He found such words of comfort for those who suffered, when he heard them, a person literally acquired a new life, soared in spirit. He healed such hopeless patients, which the doctors refused. And all this happened because the Holy Father himself always and in all trusted in God, trusted Him in all situations.
