"Christian faith acknowledges not a nostalgic dream, but a real human presence. As we celebrate today the feast of St. Nicholas, let us see past the sentimental myth, the nostalgic dream we call Santa Claus, and let us give thanks for the real life of a holy bishop of the fourth century,a holy man whose life was lived in recognition of the real presence of Jesus Christ. Let us follow St. Nicholas in witnessing to the Presence of Christ,which is not a seasonal sentiment, but an event which we encounter and live today and forever." --Fr. Richard Veras
