January 2012
My Brother,
First, let me say that I am honored and humbled by the trust you have shown by choosing me as your Worshipful Master. I will endeavor to uphold that confidence in the next year.
History tells us that January is named for Janus, the Roman god of beginnings and transitions. He is most often depicted with two faces: one looking back and one looking ahead. There is much to be accomplished in the year ahead and little to be regained by reliving the past. Let us transition into 2012 looking to the future!
January is also a traditional time for resolutions. For our brethren not currently active in the Lodge, I encourage you to add a resolution to your list:
- Return to observe and listen again to the profound Masonic ritual.
- Remember when you first knelt at the Masonic altar and took upon yourself those solemn vows. - Recall those lessons taught and whispered to you.
- Reflect upon the fraternal friends that you have made.
- Remember all those moments that you have shared with your brethren. If you do this, you will come to the realization that the teachings which are the principles of Freemasonry are as valid today as when you first received them. Indeed, they are as valid as they were when they were first formed hundreds of years ago.
We look forward to seeing you soon!
Fraternally,
John M. Povich
Worshipful Master
