Collect for 6 December: Nicholas, Bishop of Myra (Redub)

God of love,

you love each of us for what we are

and what we are becoming.

You chose your servant Nicholas

to be a bishop in the Church,


to help him share your love with others.

Thank you that you care about what we need.

Help us to learn what other people need,

and help us to share your love with them.

Amen.
