"It Sees More Than You Do"

“I was finally allowed to assist in the rite of revelation today. The avowed initiate was clumsy at best. I could scarcely believe when she stood from the Queen’s Veil and they motioned for me to assist in giving her her clergy attire. Sister Volcov chastised me for my visible dissatisfaction with the participant afterwards and refused my continued participation until I find “discipline”. That “deacon” lacks discipline. I simply expect more of those who claim to serve the Queen. As though she could recognize my irritation, the pontiff claimed I doubt, saying “It sees more than you do.” I want to stand before it. I want it to see my purpose like the old generation cannot seem to understand. Then they would have to accept my words.”
