Holy

Scrub, wash, and cleanse of all impurities
Before disturbing the sacred chamber.
Enter, don the vestment. Put them at ease
on the table, waiting for their slumber.

So started ritual interventions.
Prepared, faithful clergy gathers around,
Laity waits, with hopeful intentions.
Vulnerability and trust abound.

Sanctified, the sacrament has begun.
Here in this intimate, blessed moment,
Litany recited, solemnly sung.
Prayers whispered, healing is our proponent.

All things are ready, even the foley
The surgery begins, it is holy
