Primae Lamentatiae Judae
I am sick and tired of calls for active participation
Because when made it can only cause frustration
For when the laity's role is given consideration
Like the priest they do have a proper vocation
It comes by virtue of baptism and confirmation
As a chosen race, royal priesthood, holy nation
This they must each accomplish by manifestation
Of prayer, penance, charity as befits their station
Leaving the sacraments and grace's communication
To those duly anointed for their administration.
