O Divine Saviour!
I thank Thee for having perpetuated Thy humble,
obedient, self-sacrificing
and recollected silence of Nazareth in the tabernacle.
How Thy example puts me to shame!
Forgive me for my bold, self-seeking,
and superficial talkativeness.
Teach me to understand the words:
"In silence and in hope shall your strength be." [Is. 30:15]
