From the sermon, Archpriest Dmitry Smirnov
Every saint teaches us something, so the Church has had the custom of celebrating their memory since ancient times.
The Lord gives everyone his gift, so that with this gift he can serve God, serve his salvation, and serve his neighbors.
Saint Nicholas had a gift - a merciful heart. He sought to help everyone who needed help and for this he acquired grace from God. Of course, he probably prayed and fasted, and the shepherd of Christ was pleasing to God, but his main feat - what he became famous for - was mercy. This is what St. Nicholas teaches us. He had such a merciful heart that he could not pass by if someone needed something. He definitely wanted to save, help, feed. There is even such a term in theological literature: active love. Therefore, if we fail in the work of prayer, if we do not understand the Holy Scriptures, if we are not able to fast, then we can acquire grace by works of active love.
