Key Freemason's Principles: Page 5 • Faith and Hope are central to a Mason's life • All men and women are the children of God • No one has the right to tell another person what he or she must think or believe • Each person has a responsibility to be a good citizen • Obedience to the laws of one's country by never interfering with a just government • To live by its laws, and perform the duties incumbent upon them as citizens • Freemasonry opposes all tyranny where ever it may be found • A Freemason has a duty to himself • He keeps his duties and responsibilities in checks and balances • In this sphere, the duty of a Freemason extends to pursuing a vocation and finds time for "refreshment and sleep" • Constantly learning, and keeping his duties to his family • Industry is a highly regarded virtue in Freemasonry and makes this world a better place to the benefit of all • By contributing to God's creation through his labors, the Freemason enriches all around him and enables himself to carry out his duty of Relief • Freemasonry encourages its members to always increase their education, particularly in the Seven Liberal Arts and Sciences • By encompassing these fields, the Freemason enriches his mind and gains a greater understanding of God's creation • Freemasonry teaches us to temper our zeal when pursuing these milestones • In order to live up to the ideals of Freemasonry, each Mason must primarily find time for his family and his usual vocation • Honor and Integrity is to the Mason, "the cement of brotherly love and affection; that cement which unites us into one sacred band, or society of friends and brothers, among whom no contention should ever exist, but rather that noble contention, or rather emulation of who can best work and best agree." |
