St John of Kronstadt Children's Sermon

On the eve of the feast of St John of Kronstadt, several children gathered at the end of Vespers to hear about the life of St John. They learned about how he struggled to learn as a young child and how, through prayer and the grace of God, he was enlightened and his mind was opened to understand his studies. 

St John of Kronstadt was a tireless defender of the poor and had great care and concern for children. He established a number of orphanages to care for them. 

Through all of his labors, he emphasized and demonstrated the sweetness of Christ and the great treasure of the Gospel. In honor of St John, each child received a small 'goody bag' containing sweets and other little treasures!
