CLC - Master Mason - 05.30.17

F ELLOW C RAFT W ORKMEN The Fellow Craft workmen have not been fully tested as you have now been, and fifteen of them were tempted. Some resisted, and some did not. Temptations come to all of us because of our imperfection nature. Temptation is not inherently bad, but giving into it sometimes can be. How can you resist bad temptation? Identifying a temptation which is inherently bad before you act on it is the first step. Then, reflect on your Masonic tools and the personal conduct which each encourages. Remember also the help that can come from talking to a brother. Every Master Mason has been tested as you have now been. It is a shared experience which produces a bond among us like few others in life.
