Father Huber went directly to Jacqueline Kennedy. He murmured his sympathies—he was breathing hard—and took up a position next to her. Uncovering the President's head completely, he drew the purple-and-white ribbons over his own shoulders and chanted:
"Si capax, ego te absolvo a peccatis tuis, in nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti. Amen"
"If it is possible, I absolve you from your sins in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen."

"Drew" here means pulled. I don't know what the purpose of the ribbons is. The English sentence is equivalent to the Latin sentence.
