Why I’m Proud to be a Freemason

 

Through its teachings, Freemasonry focuses on making good men better.

As our lessons are shared from brother to brother,

men become better fathers, and families and communities grow stronger.

“I am proud to be a Mason and shall always be happy to number myself

among those who uphold those cardinal principles

and moral standards of life that are so needed

if our organization is to continue on the high level

that has been its character from its inception.”

Earnest L. Hudson, Jr.

Training & Development Strategist

“I couldn’t imagine my life without the disciplinary practice of the principles

which Freemasonry espouses. There is a subtle joy,

derived from the lifelong developing ability to interpret life through

the signs, symbols, and allegories of Masonry, which undercuts

my conscience life. Within that joy, there is an immense satisfaction

that I share this unique experience with a wide and varied group

of men from all over the world.”

Michael A. Hernandez

State Senate Aide

Freemasonry has been, and continues to be an important part of my personal

and professional life. At an individual level, the virtues espoused by the Fraternity

are a constant reminder that I must hold myself to a higher standand than

that of my peers. Understanding that when I speak, and act I speak

not only for myself, but I am for others a representative of the

Fraternity as a whole. In this way I help to ensure that the reputation

and character, of not only myself, but also the Masonic

Fraternity remains unsullied.”

“I’ve discovered that I was not searching for some particular religious creed that would set me apart from other people. I was in fact discovering some great principles that would enable me to live life at its very best. Principles like faith…hope…charity…wisdom… beauty… truth. I would discover that there is a universal love and respect for all persons of all religious creeds and beliefs. While Masonry has never been a religion for me, it has set before me some very high moral and ethical standards that have supported my religious beliefs.”
