The hazy, lazy days of summer are almost here. Half of the Masonic year has passed, and for the most part it has been an interesting and good half-year.
During the year we experience bi-weekly Regular Communications, ritual work, and traveling in and outside our District, and we enjoy many collective activities with Brothers from the District and beyond. We enjoy gatherings with families and friends. We also attend Emergent Grand Lodge Communications for the unique experience and to feel and be part of a new Grand Lodge line of officers. We enjoy each and every one of these experiences with the assurance of a job well done, along with great fellowship. It is a long, rewarding journey.
My Brothers, we have to make memories that last a lifetime in good fellowship and harmony, observing the tenets of our institution: friendship, morality and brotherly love.
The day will come when we will look back with a tired mind at those memories and smile with satisfaction for a life well lived as citizens of this great country, as husbands, as fathers, as brothers and as Masons. We will remember those Brothers and thank them for all the good memories, our Fraternity and our loved ones, and we thank God Almighty for all the positive and negative things that took place in our lives, to enjoy and share with all mankind, especially a Brother Mason, and for what we have learned from the negative things.
All the credit goes to the G.A.O.T.U.
Fraternally,
W.M. Miguel Arroyo-Colon
