Master's Message - April 2026
Time flies. This is an undeniable fact of life. We age with
the passage of time. As we follow the inevitable, we
move along and we are replaced by young, energetic,
and confident Master Masons. In the process, we bring
good men into the craft.
To guide and educate them is a collective effort of all the
Lodge Brothers. The new Master Masons must be able to
enjoy the time spent while in the Lodge among his
Brothers and feel he is an integral part of the craft.
Otherwise, he is out the door to never return again. We
owe him our attention and respect. Mentoring is an
integral part in his formation.
The craft itself is an entity of men from all kinds of social
strata. Composed of men of flesh and blood, with
positive and negative social traits which, in turn, is a
direct by-product of our social settings. Ours is not a
perfect society but the best social setting around.
Whatever good or bad that takes place in the Lodge
room is a reflection of those social traits.
It is said over and over again that every Master Mason
aspires to be a better man. Every positive has its negative.
But, only the good social traits should enter the Lodge
room.
The new Master Mason is the keystone that the overseer
reject. Without the new, young Master Masons, the
building we aspire to build will crumble.
Fraternally,
W.M. Miguel Arroyo-Colon
