Happy Feast Day of St. Nicholas, bishop of Myra in Asia Minor, model pastor noted for charity and patron saint of children. (and just recently learned he is also the patron saint of unmarried women ;)
Anyway, for a couple of years now, St. Nick has visited the chancery offices (near or on his feast day of course!) and left treats. But since I don't leave my shoes out for him to put the treats in, they are either left on my desk or delivered by our mail room staff.
The feast of St. Nick is a wonderful reminder for us to medidate on the countless blessings and joys God gives us, through His Son, Jesus Christ...especially during this holy season of Advent. Through a simple plastic bag filled with a prayer card, a candy cane, and some chocolate, St. Nick reminds us that we can find joy through the generous spirit of others, if we just open our hearts to seeing the blessings all around us.
Let us do the same for others as well, knowing that we too can spread good cheer to many.
And thank you to the chancery's "St. Nick" --- if you are reading this.
St. Nicholas, Ora pro nobis.
