The evolution that a man makes when he first comes from the outer world is began when we reaches out for light. It is that effort that the individual candidate and Mason that sparks the fuse of our great Masonic expansion. It is the driving force behind why we are Masons in the first place.
Mankind has always dreamed of grasping knowledge in it's fullness and those men who asked and became Freemasons have made a declaration that they seek knowledge and light to shine unto their paths. The paths which lead men to their destinies and fates. Those paths which all men alive must tread.
The steps which a Mason first takes are those of understanding his degree. Some men do so by catechism cyphers, others by memory alone, but rest assured that the proficiency of his respective degree should be the concern of all Masons in the Blue Lodge.
The connections that a Mason develops when learning his catechisms are bonds which are truly unique and special. In these lessons Masons find out who they are and what they are truly capable of. Inside these degrees are some of the most useful maxims for character building in men. This is only reinforced by the bond established between a mentor and his pupil.
After one returns his work as a Master Mason (in this humble Mason's opinion) a Mason may go out and instruct new Brothers in their work and continue the bonds of fellowship into the future. So that the lodge may benefit from this good work, and Brotherhood may be developed amongst the Brothers of the lodge.
Let us not forget those who aided us in our work growing in Masonry, and look foward to doing all we can to help those Brothers with theirs. May the blessings of heaven rest upon you and all of those you love, and may we meet in good health and spirits next time. Have a great Labor Day!
