For error is plausible and bears a resemblance to the truth but requires to be disguised; while the truth is without disguise and, therefore, has been entrusted to children. (Treasury of Daily Prayer p. 472)God reveals what was hidden before the foundation of the world - things into which angels have longed to look - to children. The whole council of God is laid out on the table and even the littlest among us are invited to have a seat. And this is one of the signs which distinguishes God from all pretenders and which reflects the truthfulness of His word. Therefore, when a little child says the Apostles Creed we see something so very extraordinary, true, and lovely.
