Ordination Gift Ideas

Someone suggested that I should have a special wand to use when pronouncing the absolution after I am ordained to the priesthood (let the reader understand).

I fear there may have been a little satire in their tone.

They remain to be convinced that, in the words of the Prayer Book:

Almighty God... hath given power and commandment to his Ministers, to declare and pronounce to his people, being penitent, the Absolution and Remission of their sins

BCP, the absolution from Morning Prayer, p3

Perhaps some further Bible study is called for.
