CLOSING PRAYER

GREATEST OF COUNCILORS, OUR PERFECT SHEPARD, we come to you in prayer that this young son of YOURS may be guided by the light of YOUR White Flame, FATHER GOD. Bathe young Aviel in YOUR wisdom and let YOUR endless love flow through him as he grows and helps direct the lost lambs of Man back to YOUR loving embrace.

 

SAINT HUMBERT, pray for us, let the LORD ALMIGHTY anoint young Aviel with perseverance in all things. Let this young lamb of GOD denounce and defy all evils that may come his way.

 

SAINT THOMAS, pray for us, pour into young Aviel the lesson brought by discipline and living amidst the frontierlands of this newborn Empire.

 

SAINT ARCHANGEL MICHAEL, pray for us, pour into young Aviel the courage-flame of our ALMIGHTY CREATOR. Let his soul burn brightly in the eyes of our LORD, our KING OF KINGS.

 

It is in HIS Blessed and Holy Name that we pray:

 

AMEN!

"A theme.." She considered the nautical theme as she studied the personal invitation. "Do I have anything nautical to wear? What do you get for someone that is boat-themed?" Lucrezia drew a blank and decided to figure it out in the morning! 

[UniBearse 922]

"how lovely, I should make time for this, maybe bring my sister along..." Luthien would read the missive infront of the hearth of a keep

[clearlynoko 201]

Adonis Rovare peers over the missive with a smile. He makes sure to put a note in his calendar, and begins to scheme for gift ideas!

[jqsmlne 460]

Mirabella accepted the invitation with a thankful smile from Aviel. 

 

"What do I wear.. NO- what do I give? Hmm..."

 

She drinks her hot chocolate in the tavern of Alba, pondering over thousands of questions at once.

[Digit___ 1224]

Aviel Helfgott would give a few more personal invites to others that weren't originally written on the missive. He would also assist in getting Stirland ready for the celebration!
