“Heavenly Father, as Christmas draws near
we commemorate the feast day of your beloved
bishop and saint, Nicholas. We love and honor his
memory because of his tender concern for children
and for the poor. We thank you for the merriment that
his feast has brought down all the centuries. We ask
you from the bottom of our hearts to help us to
remember, on this feast day, that we should try to
retain the innocence of childhood and a sincere faith
in you all our lives. Show us, too, how to share the
good things that we have with others, and to imitate
St. Nicholas in generosity and goodwill. We ask him
to pray for us from his place in Heaven.”
