A Prayer to Jesus in the Tabernacle

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."
