Are there Saints that have their visions came true?

[Patrick2000]

I am wondering if there are saints who received a vision of the future and it came true. I check some saints and people that are considered blessed by the Catholic Church. By doing research online it looks like these visions might not come true.

At the convent in Besancon, France, St. Colette foretold an event that would take place in the next century. A great fire, she foretold, would burn the convent building to the ground. The nuns were horrified and pressed the Saint to tell them if the fire could be stopped. Colette shook her head sadly and told the nuns, “When the big cross out there in the cemetery falls down across the graves, they will know the fire is about to come. Let them be warned and run out of the house. But they will not be able to prevent the disaster.” The nuns who heard this prophecy from the Saint’s lips wrote the warning in the convent’s archives for their sisters of the next century.

And so it was in 1510, that is 60 years later, the great cross fell over the graves. The nuns were terrified and began at once to take every precaution to prevent the fire that had been predicted. However, their precautionary endeavors were to no avail. The fire began and destroyed the convent the next day. It is said that perhaps God not only wanted to show that He was guiding His servant Colette and her Community throughout the ages, but also the indestructibility of the spiritual Community that Colette had built through the grace of God, since the convent was rebuilt soon afterwards, and remains even today.

Saint Anthony the Great and St. John Chrysostjom predicted their own time of death.
After St. John the Baptist there isn’t much need of a prophet because the pirpose of the prophets was to indicate the identity of Messiah. Now we know who He is so after the greatest prophecy being fulfilled there is very little left to prophesize.

St. Seraphim of Sarov (died 1833) predicted the forced closing of a convent by Communists in Diveyevo (Russia) 90 years after his death, and the transfer of his relics 160 years after his death.

Saint Anthony the Great and St. John Chrysostjom predicted their own time of death.

So did St. Herman of Alaska (1836) and St. John Maximovitch (1966). Saint John used to tell people “I will not be here then” when they talked about events after 1966. He also told a woman “I will die soon, at the end of June — not in San Francisco, but in Seattle.”

Actually there are quite a few Greek and Russian elders who have predicted the future, or known things like people’s names or occupations without being told them:
— St. George of Drama (died 1959)
— St. Paisios of Mount Athos (died 1994)
— Fr. John Krestiankin (died 2006)

Saint Ignatius had a vision about the founding of the Jesuits. He saw God the father and Jesus holding the Cross. He heard the words “I will be favorable to you in Rome”. When he got to Rome he received a warm welcome from the Pope rather than martyrdom. He and his friends were able to form the Jesuits.

The obvious one is the prediction of the Miracle of the Sun at Fatima on October 13, 1917.

I’ve heard that Sr Faustina predicted the outbreak of WWII to the day (1 Sept 1939), which would have been an auspicious prediction as Faustina died in 1938, however I’ve not seen any credible evidence that she actually made this prediction. It sounds like it was made up after the event.
