Today we learn about St. Nicholas of Myra, one of the most beloved saints in the Church and a powerful example of Christian generosity. Long before legends formed around his name, Nicholas was known as a bishop who defended the innocent, cared for the poor, and worked miracles through the power of God. His life continues to inspire Christians to give with joy and to live with courage.
