We Celebrate Saint Nicholas

Listen to God's Word
Kindness shown to the poor is an act of prayer.
From Proverbs 14:31

Pray in Your Heart
God, I pray for the poor people of the world. Please help them.

A Story of Saint Nicholas
Saint Nicholas did many good things for people. He often left money at the door of needy families. Whenever he did a kind act, he did it in secret. Remember Saint Nicholas on his feast day. Do a kind act in secret for someone.

Listen to God's Word
Jesus says, "When you give something to a needy person, do not make a big show of it. When you help a needy person, do it in such a way that even your best friend will not know about it. God, who sees what you do in secret, will reward you."
From Matthew 6:2-4
