Almighty Father, lover of souls,

who didst choose thy servant Nicholas

to be a bishop in the Church,

that he might give freely out of the treasures of thy grace:

make us mindful of the needs of others

and, as we have received, so teach us also to give;

through Jesus Christ thy Son our Lord,

who liveth and reigneth with thee,

in the unity of the Holy Spirit,

one God, now and for ever.

The Epistle: 1 St. John 4:7-14

The Gospel: St. Mark 10:13-16
