O Lord, you gave Blessed
Nicholas a special grace for preaching your word and for
obtaining the salvation of his neighbors. With the help of his prayers may we stand
firm in that same holy calling.
Blessed Nicholas Paglia having lived between the years of 1197 and 1256, born at Bari and educated at Bologna, was brought to the Order of Friars Preachers by the preaching of Saint Dominic; the holy father personally invested Nicholas with the habit inviting him to travel with him on mission. Blessed Nicholas is remembered for his preaching and compiling a compendium of sacred Scripture. We pray for those who preach the gospel and for Scripture scholars.
