The Life of Saint Righteous John of Kronstadt Retold for Children

We always need something. That's just how a person is built. What to do? Ask for help from God, for He gave us life, He is our loving Father. A true father is happy when he can help his children.... Not long ago, about one hundred and fifty years ago, there lived a man who did nothing but ask God for help, but not for himself, for many and many people who were suffering, ill, or in trouble. They came to this man as a last hope, and he fervently prayed to God for everyone. And God almost always fulfilled his requests. His name was Father John, and he was a priest in the Andrew Cathedral in the city of Kronstadt near St. Petersburg.
