"Sweet Lady, I am but a humble servant, gifts aplenty I have recieved from you and yet I am baffled by much that I have learned.. Why is it that men must always muddle that which should be simple and direct?
I have spoken with four of your servants today, two were once as I am to be, the purest and most devout instruments of your will, and yet neither remain so.. One has lost the gift you bestowed on him by your hand, the other has lost the gift of freedom at the hands of those who should have been his brothers..
If Judias yet bears the mark of your trust why can he not not prove that it is so to others? Is there a darkness in him I should fear? But if that were so, why have you not stripped him of your gift as you did with Laurant? I know I should not question, but I cannot help it, there is so much I wish to do, so many ways I wish to help, but I cannot see my way clear in this..
I know there is not always a clear path, but please, I wish to tread the steps you have laid before me, help me to see the steps that I should take to ever walk in your grace.. And help Gregor to confide in me the secret he yet holds.. And help me to become one whom Rhonwen can trust that I might learn the way to pursue my greatest foe and defeat him.. Help Laurant to find peace within and see right what he should do to mend what he has broken, and if it is your will that Judias be free, help Father Bradford to see that and help me to find a way to make it so.. Bless my steps and steady my hand that it be sure in working your will. May your glory shine forever upon those who need it most.. Bless you.."
