I confess to thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them to the little ones. V. O Lord, my hope from my youth. (Gradual for the Mass of St. Thérèse)
Confitebor tibi Pater, Domine caeli et terrae, quia abscondisti haec a sapientibus et prudentibus, et revelasti ea parvulis. V. Domine, spes mea a juventute mea.
