This holiday is close to each of us. Children are happy. They get sweets, and pa; rents are so glad because their children are happy. The atmosphere of St. Nicholas is imbued with benevolence. It is almost impossible to resist this atmosphere because good is arduous. However, we must realize that the feast of Saint Nicholas invites us to cultivate kindness today and throughout our lives. Christian charity is a gift of the Holy Spirit. It comes from God. It was fully manifested in Jesus Christ. If we live by faith, we are to realize God’s goodness in our lives. We are to be penetrated by God’s goodness, which the Holy Spirit develops, as the fruit of His presence in us. In benevolence, we glorify God above all. We realize his image and likeness in ourselves. Benevolence is also an apostolate that effectively touches the hearts of those far from God.
F.W. Faber wrote: “Goodness is catchy. He has the right to fertility. A good deed leads to more good deeds. A single act of kindness sends out roots in all directions, from which new shoots sprout and new trees grow. This fertility is not limited only to ourselves… This is how benevolence spreads in all directions. An act of benevolence may never die but spreads the invisible waves of its ebb and flow throughout the centuries.” On the way to mastering the benevolence of life, we must recognize the dangers that can stop us. It is primarily pride. A proud man is seldom kind. Pride spoils our spiritual endeavor and turns it into a mockery. A particular writer must have met many Christians infected with this spiritual disease when he wrote this sentence: “Religious people are the most unloving of all people.
Many religious people neglect the cultivation of benevolence because they do not care about its price. Many are charitable but not benevolent. They mortify themselves, but they do not know how to be hospitable. They pray a lot, but they are not very generous. They are also merciful but without benevolence. A reasonable person does not look in the other person’s face to see what is wrong but acts almost spontaneously. This is precisely the nature of this virtue: to do good as soon as the opportunity presents itself or the moment’s necessity requires it without expecting any recompense. We should practice kindness every day. Parents should lead their children to benevolence with all seriousness by their example because they give them a precious gift in life. Perhaps this story will encourage us to cultivate kindness: A 70-year-old ship captain died. His life was fused with the plague. A lamp was burning by his bed. He slept little at night during his illness. He fell asleep now. He had a beautiful dream, manifested externally by the brightness on his face.
In their dreams, he sees the sea in front of him. His ship rested in the harbor Awaiting the captain’s order to set sail and ply the ocean. When the captain got on the boat, it seemed to him that many acquaintances were traveling with him. They all surround him and say, “Today, we will go with you.” In the back are several girls whom he snatched from the claws of the soul sellers. The girls shouted, “We’re going with you today.” There were dozens of guys he secured jobs for. They also called, “Today , we will go with you.” Many people came who were helped in some way by him. Everyone shouts, “We’ll go with you today!” The ship moves, and the captain wakes up from his dream. Sitting next to him is a friend who has come to visit him. She tells him about her dream. Then he smiled briefly, bowed his head, and died. His ship landed on the other shore of life. He had with him intercessors whom he helped in life. (František Dancák gave us an example, 14ththe amendment, Kružlov 1996, p. 90.) Well, let’s decide to cultivate kindness and ask St. Nicholas to accompany us on this journey with his intercession with the heavenly Father.
