Show me your hands. Do they have scars from Struggle?
Show me your feet. Are they wounded for your People?
Show me your heart. Have you left a place for His Will?
- from "The Litanies of Fervor" Fr. Falmed Karish, Chapel of St. Deni, Hedion
In giving us strength, God places us in a position of both leadership and service. He calls us to give up our lives for His sake - to abandon our own desires and put Him first. Yet, according to His perfect design, it is through this selflessness that we can become truly fulfilled.
To speak to such matters before a host of Capsuleers seems folly. We are a progeny of opportunists first and foremost. We swarm to exploit whatever we can aquire for our own profit. We burn the skies alight in the pursuit of mastery over others. Some even drench the constellations in blood and terror in the name of mere recreation. The Terrible and Magnific powers imbued unto those entombed in the Wet Grave drives our Infernal breed to such wretched hungers.
And yet, even amidst these harsh and hellish stars, there are exceptions.
There are those who who have taken up this gruesome mantle to serve, not themselves, but others.
There are those who have put their mortal lives and eternal souls on the line, in the name of an Ideal.
On this day, I would give Honor to such a Pilot, A man whose Dedication has made him Admired. A man whose Devotion has made him Treasured. A man whose Humility has made him Revered.
I would honor one of the most steadfast and trustworthy individuals I have ever known, one I am privileged to call a friend.
To Lord Admiral Gaven Lok'ri of Oris, Commander of the Praetorians, I salute an amazing Ten Years of Service to the Most Holy Empire and her People.
May the Lord's Supreme Blessings smile upon you throughout the heavens, now and for many years to come. + Cardinal Graelyn + Owner/Operator, "The Summit" Amarr Loyalist of the Year --áYC113 |

Despite one's personal opinion and feeling toward the individual, ten years of dedicated service is nothing to be sneered at.
May God's favor shine brightly upon you and your family, Lord Admiral. |

I will not sully this topic with discussions and debates over Kuvakei.
I will only state that there is a clear and distinct difference between the cause of the Lord Admiral and the "cause" of Sansha Kuvakei. If you want to debate it beyond that, you know how to contact me. |

Blessings to you, Lord Admiral;
One who has proven it is indeed possible to take a cup near-endless and sacrifice endlessly of its contents,
One who has not counted his days and separated them to decide which were for himself and which were for the Lord,
One who has bore himself alone in the place of thousands of the faithful Chosen and carried their hardships through the void.
Let the light you walk in always be radiant, and your faith and sacrifice be weighed and measured fairly. "I say that even as the holy and the righteous cannot rise beyond the highest which is in each one of you - so the wicked and the weak cannot fall lower than the lowest which is in you also. -áAnd as a single leaf turns not yellow but with the silent knowledge of the whole tree, so the wrong-doer cannot do wrong without the hidden will of you all." |

An old name. An old enemy. An old scar.
Enemies are meant to fight each other, but they cannot deny when one is at the very least honourable. In their own slave driving fanatical way, of course. |

God's Blessings be upon you Admiral.
While I know you would say no special thanks are needed for you simply doing your Duty but that doesn't mean we cannot recognize one who has performed it so ably and well for so long. truly you have embodied the Scriptures with your service and in the organization which you have led:
"Only through many hardships Is a man stripped to his very foundations And in such a state Devoid of distractions Is his soul free to soar And in this He is closest to God" - The Scriptures, Book of Missions 42:5
"Surround yourself with the faithful, Stand together, for there is no strength like it under the heavens." - The Scriptures, Book of Missions 71:21
