In Silence I Pray The Eucharist Poem by NHIEN NGUYEN MD

In silence, I pray:

I pray for more patience
I pray for more tolerance
I pray for more endurance
I pray for a humble heart.

I pray from my sunrise to my sunset
I pray that I shall follow Your footsteps.
I pray that with Your merciful grace
I shall embrace whatever You put on my plate.

I pray for necessary knowledge
I pray for humility and courage
I pray for all human races
I pray that I see You in all human faces.

I adore You in the Eucharist
I don't see you with my eyes naked
But please, let me see You with the eyes of my faith.

I pray You to teach me how to pray
Not to seek fulfillment of my own selfishness
But to fulfill Your wish in me.
