Mass of Valos

A Mass of Valos will be held Friday night of the July Baronial Feast in Pendarvin shortly after the opening remarks conclude. All Priests of the Light Pantheon are invited to speak as well as those of unaligned gods, though no tangible benefits will accrue to followers of the latter.

The topic of my sermon is "Why we must come together,"

Light snacks will be provided at the conclusion.

Brothers, sisters and friends,

I will be in grateful attendance. If you require escort to the mass I will make myself available. If you have not met me, I am easy to find by my appearance and equipment. Ask for Lucien Belfast and approach me in friendship at any time.

I would like to speak at the mass if there is time after the more senior Clergy have given their sermon. I am a new figure in Travance, but I am working to make it my home and I can think of no better way to know my neighbors than to gather together in faith and fellowship.

Fr. Belfast

There certainly will be time for you to speak at mass.

your valos would kill children if suspected of darkness ,i was a youth and barely escaped the hammer of a templar...

Valos would do no such thing. OFten the vessels chosen by the gods, or those who claim to do their work, are imperfect./ Witness the recent cleansing by fire concerning many of the Excommunicati performed by many of the clergy, which certainly did not find favor among the gods or His Holiness.

I urge you, Yoshimatsu, not to make the error of logic in assuming the actions of a few reflect the values of the many.

If I might echo the words of the good Father Haroldsson.

I will speak with you in fellowship of your worries of my brethren, for many of us live in sin and fear and doubt. I have said many times that we who keep faith do not ground our faith in one another, we do not base our faith on the minds or the hands of mortals. My faith and conviction comes from on high and is like a well within me, giving me strength and courage.

All of us have lost our way from time to time and allowed anger to rule us instead of justice.

I would beg your forgiveness if my brethren have done any undeserved harm to you or your kin. Valos gives us the courage to fight our enemies, but that courage comes more easily than the courage to ask for forgiveness, especially when we we're truly wrong in our judgement of another.

Be at peace and I will talk with you at our mass Yoshimatsu, if you would hear me.
