Grace

Grace is a measure of the correspondence between the divine source and a subject. Higher states of grace are indicative of closer personal correspondence and trust between the divine and their followers; it does not necessarily indicate function or formal rank within a faith’s institutions. It is achieved through the fulfillment of expectations – adherence to tenants of the litany, upheld values, sacrifice, and continued service to the faith.
