Christmas Prayer to St Nicholas for Children

Do you love children? Say this prayer to St. Nicholas this season of Christ’s birth!

The month of December marks the birth of our Lord, Jesus. So, in this season, we not only celebrate His birth but also meditate on His coming in the form of a baby. The light, love, graces and blessings that His birth brings to the world. Being once a baby, Jesus connects to every child around the world both as Father and as brother;

“See that you do not despise one of these little ones. For I tell you that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father in heaven” (Matthew 18:10).

St. Nicholas is the patron saint of children. He is famed for his striking generosity. In seasons like Christmas, he secretly brought gifts to the needy, especially children. This prayers seek his intercession to God for the protection, guidance, blessing and healing of children. If you’re a parent, sibling, friend, relative, teacher or lover of children.
