Entrance Antiphon [ Ps 37:39 ]
The salvation of the just comes from the Lord. He is their strength in time of need.

Collect
Almighty God, you glorified Saint Nicholas and companions by their zeal in spreading the faith and their crown of martyrdom. Through their prayers and example help us to run the way of your commandments and to receive the crown of eternal life. We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.

Prayer over the Offerings
Merciful Father, send your blessing on these gifts and strengthen us in that faith which your Martyrs Saints Nicholas and companions defended even to the shedding of their blood. We ask this in the name of Jesus the Lord.

Communion Antiphon [ Mt 8:35 ]
Whoever loses his life for my sake and the gospel, says the Lord, will save it.

Prayer after Communion
Lord, we are renewed by the breaking of one Bread in honor of the Martyrs Nicholas and companions. Keep us in your love and help us to live the new life Christ won for us. Grant this in the name of Jesus the Lord.
