Repeated Mockery
Have mercy oh! priest
To God through Mary let my plea
Seven times more my sins
I fear I must do it again.
I sinned again o priest,
And must to this alter pray
in your ears all my vile secrets
Forgive me and through Mary to the lord.
I lied o priest,
I crawled in the dark to the red zones
I covet a neighbour’s good also,
as I have done in the past
If you would, oh! Priest
Send my confession to Mary again
Tell all, that hides within.
Take this confession for today,
and all ills before the next,
Let me from this alter depart
To new woes as I this bondage demands.
This is my prayer
To Hail Mary, parcelled by the priest.
