"A RED-HANDED SAINT."
[To TEE EDITOR OF THE " SPECTATOR"]
Szn,—Re your notice of my book, "A Red-Handed Saint," in last week's Spectator, the mistake in the ceremonial of the blessing of an abbot is not mine of course. I enclose the ordo
of this.—I am, Sir, &c., OLIVE K. PARR. Vent on House, Widecombe-in-the-Moor, near Ashburton, Devon.
"Circumda, Domine, manus hujus ministri tui munditia novi hominis, qui de ccelo descendit, ut quemadmodum Jacob dilectus taus, pelliculis htedorum opertis manibus, paternam benedictionem, oblato patri cibo, potuque gratissimo, impetravit, sic et iste, oblata per Lumus suns hostia salutari, gratin tam benedictionem im- petrare mereatur. Per Dominum nostrum Jesum Christum Filium tuum, qui in similitudinem earths peccati tibi pro nobis obtulit semetipsum."—"Prieres et Ceremonies pour la. Benediction d'un Abbe selon le Pontifical Romain, d'apres l'Edition type," Tournay.
