In the streets in particular, radiate the joy of belonging to God, of living with Him and being His. For this reason, in the streets, in the shelters, in your work, you should always be praying with all your heart and all your soul. Maintain the silence that Jesus maintained for thirty years at Nazareth, and that He still maintains in the tabernacle, interceding for us. Pray like the Virgin Mary, who kept all things in her heart through prayer and meditation, and still does, as mediatrix of all graces.
