LIFE AS A MASON

 

 

 What is the typical life of a Mason? It is a question we get a lot from men who are deciding if they would like to join the Craft. The real answer is: There is no “typical” life of a Mason. Masons come from all walks of life — from corporate CEOs to city bus

drivers, from commodities brokers to auto mechanics. What unifies Masons is not where we come from or what we do for a living, but rather what we aspire to be.

 

 

“The internal, and not the external, qualifications of a man are what Freemasonry regards.”

 

 QUALITIES OF A MASON

 

 The essential qualities Masons share in their diverse lives are a belief in a Supreme Being and a desire to strive for:

 

• fellowship with other Masons

• high moral standards

• kindness in the home

• courtesy in society

• honesty in business

• fairness in all dealings

 

 BEING A MASON

 

 Being a Mason is about a father helping his son make better decisions; a business leader striving to bring morality to the workplace;  a thoughtful man learning to work through tough issues in his life.

 

 FELLOWSHIP,FRIENDSHIP AND COMMUNITY SERVICE

 

 Throughout a Mason’s life, fellowship and friendship is a key component, as well as community service. The typical Mason wants to continue to grow as a man and to benefit society.
