Prayer

O good St. Nicholas, you who are the joy of the

children put in my heart the spirit of childhood,

which the gospel speaks, and teach me to seed

happiness around me. You, whose feast prepares

us for Christ mass, open my faith in the mystery

of God made man. Your good bishop and shepherd,

help me to find my place in the Church and inspire

the Church to be faithful to the gospel. Amen
