Master's Message - February 2026
During the month of February, St. Valentine’s Day takes center stage promoting the idea of universal love. Sounds familiar, well that’s because Masonry also promotes universal love among it’s members. Brotherly love goes a long way.
For Masons, our labor in the quarries is based on mutual respect, understanding, the ability of cooperation, and love for the Craft. There is nothing more rewarding than even when I just saw a brother Mason yesterday night while traveling, I am happy to see him today.
At the center of our families, the aim is the showing of affection for our significants others with some sort of natural or synthetic material, i.e. a Valentine Days card, a gift or a box of chocolate and flowers. Our wives are the recipients of love for one day. Many forget that without their support our lives and our tasks as Masons would be significantly impossible. The showing of love and affection for our significants others should and ought to be every day and not just the fourteen of the month. Flowers. gifts , and a box of chocolate are good. But care, love, and affection are priceless.
We also celebrated the birthday of two great Americans and Presidents, President George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. Presidents Day is celebrated on the 16 day of the month. GeorgeWashington, our first President and Freemason represents patriotism, rectitude and an upright man and a Mason.
Fraternally,
W.M. Muguel Arroyo-Colon
