Patron Saint of ChildrenGod, we pray that through theintercessions of St. Nicholas
you will guide and protect our children.
Keep them safe from all harm and help them grow to become
loving disciples of Jesus in your sight.
Give them strength to always mature into deeper faith in you,
and to keep alive joy in your creation.
Through Jesus Christ Our Lord. Amen.
Happy Saint Nicholas Day!! We have been trying to figure out how we want to celebrate this special day in our family. We have some time to keep adding some traditions as the girls are still young to do and participate in a lot of the ideas I have. But, we have decided that along with the nuts and clementines and chocolate gold coins that will appear in the shoes....we are going to a holy card, book either on Saint Nicholas himself or other religious story, and a religious ornament that they can add to their collection each year and take with them when they leave home. Angel was very excited last night as we read about Saint Nicholas and how he took care and loved the children and gave them treats. So many stories and legends about truly this unknown Saint compared to others. I found THIS SITE a lot of fun to find fun ideas to celebrate the day and a lot about Saint Nicholas. Hoping to get some cookie cutters for next year and come up with a Saint Nick breakfast!! Any fun ideas you do for today??
