Good morning brethren All and have a blessed and enjoyable Tuesday.
Morning thoughts for educational purposes.
*THE TEN COMMANDMENTS OF FREEMASONRY*
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS OF FREEMASONRY, are the key to those things which are fundamental of a way of life, which Masonry teaches, and endeavors to impress on it's members.
The first group of three may be termed - *attitudes towards others* - *Brotherly Love, Relief and Truth.*
*BROTHERLY LOVE* teaches a proper respect and friendship for our fellow man.
*RELIEF* is that duty to render assistance to others who need our help.
*TRUTH* is that divine attribute which is the foundation of every virtue and which should be the guide in our lives for dealing with others.
The next group of three may be termed - The spiritual attitudes. These are *Faith, Hope and Charity.*
*FAITH* is the foundation of our belief in those spiritual and moral values which distinguish man from beast.
*HOPE* is that state of mind which leads man through dangers, trials and tribulations, to achievement of worthwhile goals.
*CHARITY* as distinguished from relief and alms giving, is that noble love of our fellow man which causes us to strive to achieve those things looking to the improvement of humanity.
The third group may be termed physical and mental attitudes. They are *Temperance, Fortitude, Prudence and Justice.*
*TEMPERANCE* is that restraint the individual exercises in all matters which prevent the impairment of his faculties through over indulgence.
*FORTITUDE* is a steadiness of purpose which enables man to undergo perils, danger and even pain in order to accomplish worthwhile purposes.
*PRUDENCE* is that ability to reason, to plan ahead and to lay out a proper course for the accomplishment of those things which contribute to our well being.
*JUSTICE* is a virtue consistent with both divine and human law. Is that guide or standard by which we can determine what is right to be done and so to achieve a just and well regulated society.
These TEN COMMANDMENTS OF MASONRY present no new fundamental truths, but they simply present time honored standards of conduct which have in all ages contributed to a well ordered society.
*Keep smiling and think positive. Never forget your Oaths and Obligations as a Mason🙏*
