6 December - St. Nicholas the wonderworker, Archbishop of Myra
Heb 13:17-21

A reading - from the Letter to the Hebrews

Brothers and sisters: Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they keep watch over you as men who must render an | ac|count.

So act that they may fulfill their task with joy, not with sorrow, for that would be harmful | to | you.

Pray for us; we are confident that we have a good conscience, wishing, as we do, to act rightly in every respect. I especially ask your prayers that I may be restored to you ve|ry | soon.

May the God of peace, who brought up from the dead the great Shepherd of the Sheep by the Blood of the Eternal covenant, Jesus our Lord, furnish you with all that is good, that you may do | his | will.

Through Jesus Christ may he carry out in you all that is pleasing | to | him.

To Christ be glory forev - er! - A - men.
