Latin text
Pater peccavi in coelum et coram te:
non sum dignus vocari filius tuus.
Fac me sicut unum ex mercenariis tuis.
(from St Luke's Gospel, Chapter 15, verses 18/19 or 21)
English translation
Father, I have sinned against heaven and before thee.
I am not worthy to be called thy son:
make me as one of thy hired servants.
(Douay-Rheims translation of the Vulgate)
