O Divine Savior!
I thank You for having perpetuated Your humble,
obedient, self-sacrificing
and recollected silence of Nazareth in the tabernacle.
How Your 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.
