Prophets,
It’s the Merry Month of May and I hope our Merry Band of Prophets had a great day celebrating the Mothers of our lives on Mother’s Day!
We had a great time at our April meeting followed by dinner at Dario’s Mexican Restaurant as we listened to the sultry sounds of Friday Night Karaoke drifting in from the bar area. In this ever changing world, we can take solace in knowing that every Rose still has it’s Thorn and a Wayward Son still needs to Carry on!
Please make every effort to attend our May meeting on Friday, May 17th. Shenanigans and Tomfoolery will be in abundance!
I leave you with the 12 Commandments of Grotto as found on the National Grotto Website.
Take some time to contemplate how we can incorporate more of these ideas into our Grotto and bring your thoughts to the Stated Meeting.
The Twelve Commandments of the Grotto
-
To draw the Master Masons of different Lodges into close and more friendly relations.
-
To create and maintain a spirit of fraternity among us.
-
To discount jealousy, enmity and ill feeling.
-
To teach us that we are not only members of one Blue Lodge, but belong to the fraternity at large.
-
That there are good Masons outside of our Blue Lodge and they are worthy friends and companions.
-
To build up and strengthen the character and individuality of the Mason and to teach, recognize and develop the principles of Masonry outside the Lodge room.
-
To teach that a Mason is not judged by his actual appearance or worldly wealth.
-
The Grotto meets all Masons on the level, not figuratively but literally, and teaches that Masons are brothers on the street as well as in the Lodge room.
-
That Masonry must not be used as a means of advancing the material interest of any man.
-
To get out of the rut into which we too often fall.
-
To forget our cares, for there is good in all of us.
-
The GROTTO is a social organization for Master Masons.
Yours in Fellowship,
Donald
