The feast of Saint Nicholas observed today is an opportunity to reflect on our reliance on others as we go onto the Lord as a community, people who have regard for another. The sainted bishop Nicholas of Myra (Turkey) reminds us of our reception of unmerited grace given by God.Let us pray for sailors, orphans and pawnbrokers. I'd also like to remember Melkite Bishop Nicholas Samra on his feast day.
The Church prays...
We humbly implore your mercy, Lord: protect us in all dangers through the prayers of the Bishop Nicholas, that the way of salvation may lie open before us.
