A prayer card to St. Nicholas asking to keep the spirit of childhood alive in us. There is an image of St. Nicholas on the front and the prayer on the reverse side.
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
Christmas, open my faith to the mystery
of God made man.
You, good bishop and shepherd, help me
to find my place in the Church and inspire
the Church to be faithful to the gospel.
O good Saint Nicholas, patron
of children, sailors and the helpless,
watch over those who pray to Jesus,
your Lord and theirs, as well as over
those who humble themselves before you.
Bring us all in reverence to the
Holy Child of Bethlehem, when true joy
and peace are found. Amen.
