SOBERANA COMENDADORA DEL TEMPLO
Grado 27
Grado 27º – Noveno del Consejo de Kadosch
El Grado Templario representa la esencia de la caballería humanitaria y masónica, exaltando la nobleza del espíritu y la supremacía del deber moral sobre toda ambición personal. Su propósito es reafirmar la autoridad de la Gran Maestra y el compromiso de la iniciada con los más altos ideales de justicia y verdad.
El ritual evoca la memoria de los Caballeros Templarios, mártires de la fe y la libertad de pensamiento. Al ser consagrada, la neófita es investida como Caballero del Templo y Gran Comendadora, llamado a luchar por el triunfo de la Masonería, a defender sus doctrinas, a practicar la equidad y a trabajar por una sociedad más justa, guiada por los principios superiores de la Orden.
