Rite of Pious Grace
The Rite is the triggering act for moving from the previous level, to a Pious state of Grace. Many times this is done through some time in meditation, prayer, or a pilgrimage/quest unless where institutions direct the Divine Principal’s efforts and will formally enact the rite.
Common Requirements: Absent any Transgressions not Atoned for; Under Censure, or Forsworn on any Vows; Shared Litany (good standing) for the faith/Divine Principal
Form and Execution
