John the Wonderworker of Kronstadt

Reading from the Synaxarion:

Saint John of Kronstadt was a married priest, who lived with his wife
in virginity. Through his untiring labours in his priestly duties
and love for the poor and sinners, he was granted by our Lord great
gifts of clairvoyance and miracle-working, to such a degree that in the
last years of his life miracles of healing--both of body and
soul--were performed countless times each day through his prayers, often for
people who had only written to him asking his help. During his lifetime
he was known throughout Russia, as well as in the Western world. He
has left us his diary My Life in Christ as a spiritual treasure for
Christians of every age; simple in language, it expounds the deepest
mysteries of our Faith with that wisdom which is given only to a heart
purified by the grace of the Holy Spirit. Foreseeing as a true prophet
the Revolution of 1917, he unsparingly rebuked the growing apostasy
among the people; he foretold that the very name of Russia would be
changed. As the darkness of unbelief grew thicker, he shone forth as a
beacon of unquenchable piety, comforting the faithful through the many
miracles that he worked and the fatherly love and simplicity with which he
received all. Saint John reposed in peace in 1908.

Apolytikion in the Fourth Tone
O Wonderworker living in Christ for ever, with love have mercy on
them that are in danger; hear thy children who call upon thee with
faith; be thou compassionate unto them that hope for aid from thee, O
Father John of Kronstadt, our beloved shepherd.

Kontakion in the Fourth Tone
O Thou who from infancy wast chosen by God, and in childhood didst
miraculously receive from Him the gift of learning, and wast gloriously called
to the priesthood in a vision during sleep: Thou didst prove to be
a wondrous shepherd of the Church of Christ, O Father John,
