A Chaplet of Saint Nicholas

This chaplet of Saint Nicholas is a prayer for mercy and protection, as he is the patron saint of those in danger on land or sea, children and the weak and vulnerable, those in want or other need.

• Gracious God,
hear my prayers for mercy,
and by the help of Saint Nicholas
keep me safe from all danger,
and guide me on the way of salvation.

Grant this through our Lord Jeus Christ,
your Son, who lives and reigns with you
and the Holy Spirit for ever and ever.
Amen.

Holy Nicholas, help me,
• Holy Nicholas, help me,
• Holy Nicholas, help me.

On the medal, pray

• Glorious Holy Nicholas,
humble and virtuous Archbishop of Myra,
it is true that you hear those who come to you
in their trials and tribulations.
I trust in you, I hope in you,
and I ask you to intercede with our holy God
so that I may receive grace
in the things for which I have sought.
Be my guide, be my defense, cleanse my soul.
Amen.

Prayers adapted from the St Nicholas Parish, Plumstead, and the Caminata de los Tres Lunes.
