Miraculous cases

Soon this child became the first student in his class.
John’s predictions
The saint went down in history thanks to his prophecies. After himself, he left a huge number of sayings related to the future of Russia. He spoke a lot about the path that our country should take, touched upon the topics of morality and faith. He was sure that all this is interconnected and that the fall of faith, which leads to the fall of morality, is to blame for all the troubles that occur, and without them there can be no question of greatness.
The saint was worried about the fate of Russia and believed that Russia would prosper only when she learned to “think with her own mind” and stopped inviting foreign specialists. He said that the root of evil for the country is contained in ideas alien to it, which are inspired from outside.
According to John of Kronstadt, you need to develop based on your own mind and experience, and not borrowed.
The fidelity and veracity of these beliefs soon found their confirmation: the once great Russian Empire fell under the influence of internal squabbles and disagreements.
The saint usually focused on global predictions that concerned the state as a whole, but there were also cases of personal prophecies.
