To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven: Ecclesiastes 3:1
Companions,
There is a proper “time” for men to carry out their “purposes”. The 139th Annual Grand Assembly of Royal & Select Masters begins the “time” and “purpose” of presiding over and directing the affairs of the Grand Council for the Cryptic Year of 2018-2019. Likewise each and every Companion in purple has his purpose to perform. In the first charge of our Masonic career we learned that one of our duties to God is to implore His aid in all our laudatory undertakings. Let us appeal to God and with “Cryptic Passion” attend to our work.
O Lord, help us to walk in holiness of heart and to do what is good and pleasing to your eyes. Amen.
