A Prayer of Impetration to Saint Nicholas
Glorious St. Nicholas,
my special patron,
from thy throne in glory,
where thou dost enjoy the presence of God,
turn thine eyes in pity upon me and obtain for me from our Lord the graces and helps that I need
in my spiritual and temporal necessities and especially this favor
in my spiritual and temporal necessities and especially this favor
[mention your request],
provided that it be profitable to my salvation.
Be mindful, likewise,
O glorious and saintly Bishop,
of our Sovereign Pontiff,
of Holy Church,
and of all Christian people.
Bring back to the right way of salvation all those who are living steeped in sin and blinded by the darkness of ignorance, error, and heresy.
Comfort the afflicted,
provide for the needy,
strengthen the fearful,
defend the oppressed,
give health to the infirm;
cause all men to experience the effects of thy powerful intercession with the supreme Giver of every good and perfect gift.
Amen.
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be
V. Pray for us, O blessed Nicholas.
R. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
Let us pray.
O God, who has glorified blessed Nicholas,
Thine illustrious Confessor and Bishop,
by means of countless signs and wonders,
and who dost not cease daily so to glorify him;
grant, we beseech Thee, that we,
being assisted by his merits and prayers,
may be delivered from the fires of hell and from all dangers.
Through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
