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)

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)
Secunda pars
Latin text
Quanti mercenarii in domo patris mei abundant panibus,
ego autem hic fame pereo!
Surgam, et ibo ad patrem meum, et dicam ei:
Fac me sicut unum ex mercenariis tuis.
(from St Luke's Gospel, Chapter 15, verses 17-19)
English translation
How many hired servants in my father's house
abound with bread, and I here perish with hunger!
I will arise and will go to my father and say to him:
make me as one of thy hired servants.
(Douay-Rheims translation of the Vulgate)
