Father wrap these the hands of
your dear ordinand, the man’s
hands soaked in sacred scented
chrism, wrap them in this clean
cloth, the Maniturgium,
this cloth that will one day wrap
the precious hands of she his
mother, she his mother who first
protected him in her womb,
she his mother who now lies
in her final resting place
and in Heaven all will know
she bore the world a holy priest,
to Christ’s delight, he her gift.
