Holy Father, the world does not know you,
but we praise your great and awesome name;
you are our God, a God who reveals mysteries.
All that is in the world--the desire of the flesh,
the desire of the eyes, the pride in riches--
come not from you but from the world.
You sent Jesus to make your name known to us,
so that the love with which you loved him
may be in us, and that he may be in us.
