CLC - ENTERED APPRENTICE - 05.22.17

F REE WILL AND ACCORD Every candidate for Freemasonry must first prepare himself in heart and mind for the ceremonies which will follow. The rites of Freemasonry are of a serious nature, dignified in their presentation, and intended to obligate him to lead a better life. The candidate must approach Freemasonry’s door acknowledging his need to learn more and his willingness to place himself in the care of men whom he has asked to be his brothers. His approach must be of his own free will and accord, unpressured by others. Otherwise, he may lack the zeal required for a lifetime commitment to Freemasonry.
