Gratitude for Saint Nicholas
"It is more blessed to give than to receive."
— Acts 20:35
Generous Father,
Saint Nicholas, the generous bishop, reminds us of the joy of giving, especially to children. His generosity still inspires our traditions.
Thank You for this example of joyful generosity. For this gift that seeks no recognition, that is given discreetly, that aims for the joy of others.
May I be as generous as Nicholas. Giving with joy, without calculation, seeking to bring pleasure to others, especially the little ones.
Amen.
