Dear Brethren, Charity “We make a living by what we get but we make a life by what we give.” — Winston Churchill Our Masonic Rituals lay considerable stress on “Faith, Hope and Charity”, which are said to be the three Principal Moral Virtues. Charity is an inseparable aspect of Freemasonry. The practice of charity in masonry is of utmost importance being one of the most important cardinal virtues for brotherly love, relief and moral truth. Charity is known to be the essential characteristic of a Freemason’s heart. “Charge in the North-East” as we mason know, is a testimonial to the importance of Charity, driven home to a candidate, addressed during the ceremony of initiation, when he joins freemasonry. To be concerned for those in need is an essential quality of a Freemason’s way of life. Charity is an act done freely, and spontaneously out of friendship, not as a civic duty and unwillingly, as is sometimes the case in public charity. The Masonic use of the word is much nearer this original sense, for a Mason extends relief to a needy brother not as a duty but out of friendship and love. We know that every action has a reaction. You contribution to Masonic charity will bear fruit and help someone to rise in life. Man aspires, perspires, respires and finally expires, but his good deeds in life are always remembered and that is what freemasonry teaches, “live respected and die regretted”.
