(16:01:05) Wescli_Wardest: Welcome one and all to this, the occasion of bestowing Knighthood upon a worthy member of our Order. Let us begin the ceremony in reflective prayer:

(16:01:23) Wescli_Wardest: Feel the force within you, connect to its flow and shower yourself and those you bless with it. This world is a dangerous place; full of danger to the body, mind and soul. Many are led by greed, selfishness, criminality and the power they take them from others.
(16:01:33) Wescli_Wardest: There are those who oppose these forces and they are known as Jedi; armed with strength of character, unyielding will, and most of all The Force.
(16:01:45) Wescli_Wardest: They use the force to help those less fortunate. To you - rise to this call, strengthening your will, your faith and your devotion to good, accept this blessing and go forth knowing the Force goes with you.
