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.
