Freemasonry Principles

Ordo ab Chao
“[Bringing] Order out of Chaos”

Clavis ad Mysterium
“The Key to the Mysteries”’ which signifies that as you possess the key to self – knowledge, so we are the custodians of the great secrets and ancient doctrines of Masonry; and that we must keep them preserved in our hearts, always regulating our life and conduct, as not to prove unworthy of the trust reposed in us.” (4th Degree)

VIRTUS JUNXIT – MORS NON SEPARABIT
“Virtue has united, and Death shall not separate.” (Motto of the 14th Degree)

Fiat Lux
“Let there be Light”
The Light Shines! The nine great lights of Masonry that you wish to shine in you are veneration, charity, generosity, heroism, honor, patriotism, justice, toleration, and divine light. (20th Degree) Do something that lives after you was a lesson taught in the 19th Degree. “The great majority of mankind lives a life of labor and discouragement. Therefore the progress of man is measured by the accomplishments of the few. Whether you will be among the few who contribute.” (20th Degree). “God is Light; and in Him is no darkness at all. …In him was Life, and the Life was the Light of men.” (32nd Degree)

“What you do and learn in Freemasonry in general is sown, and grows, and may bear fruit long after you are gone. Remember that all Brothers are equal and that they have been united by Virtue to accomplish something greater than each can himself.”
