Brethren, Friends, and Family,

In 2022, the Masonic Charities of Arizona approved 33 grants totaling $73,000 to worthy organizations throughout Arizona. These 501c3 charitable organizations provide much needed services to their communities all over Arizona. Those services include Veteran assistance, domestic abuse shelters, child learning disabilities, training and assistance for people with special needs, support for soldiers abroad, adult literacy programs and personal hygiene kits for the working poor and homeless.

We are able to award these grants from the income of our investment fund, lodge and personal donations and support from Grand Lodge. In order to keep up with the desire to expand our grant distribution to more organizations and communities around the State we ask for your help.

The Board of Directors of the Masonic Charities of Arizona extends our appreciation to all of you for your support.

This month, we share an excerpt from the June 2023 Trestleboard of Scottsdale Lodge No. 43

The Power of Accountability: The Quest to “Make Good Men Better”

By brother Michael D. Valecourt

While we may call it by various terms, accountability forms a primary cornerstone of our fraternity's mission to "make good men better." Through our commitment to mutual support and personal growth, we as Masons strive to exemplify the importance of accountability in fostering individual improvement. This is especially the case where we discuss the first lesson of Masonry - to be good and true. Truth as a divine attribute teaches us to act without hypocrisy and deceit, and to distinguish ourselves by plain speaking and fair dealings. How can we do any of these things, unless we have first learned to do so with our individual selves? Do we as individual masons seek accountability, or perhaps we might say - do we strive for congruency between our words and deeds? Do we reach out to others regarding things that we do not understand or cannot see in ourselves? Do we work to overcome our own ignorance's by seeking out input, perspective or education? have recently been enjoying various excerpts from Carl Claudy’s book Old Tyler Talks. In one of these short stories called "On Finding Out," Claudy narrates an encounter between an old Tyler and a young Mason, who despite being esteemed within the fraternity, is revealed to have concealed some frustration at receiving corrections from his more educated brethren. As this young protagonist grapples with this hurt, he seeks advice from the old Tyler, who enlightens him about the significance of accountability. Masons, through their oaths and obligations, hold themselves and each other accountable for their actions, both within and without the lodge. This commitment to accountability

This month, we share an excerpt from the June 2023 Trestleboard of Scottsdale Lodge No. 43 Accountability (cont’d) ensures that members uphold the highest moral self-reflection. Experienced Masons often take on the responsibility of guiding and mentoring younger members, in both formal and informal companionships. Whether they bear a title or not, whether they realize it or not, they are constantly imparting wisdom, and encouraging personal growth, by precept and example. Through these interactions (even when they are sometimes difficult and challenging), Masonry strives to foster an environment of trust, where we as members can openly discuss various struggles of manhood and life, seek guidance from other men who have alternate perspectives and often greater experience, and most importantly to be held accountable for our actions and our inactions. This dynamic reinforces the fraternity's commitment to helping good men improve themselves.

Beyond the benefit of external accountability, our fraternity also teaches us to recognize the importance of self-responsibility. In the renowned tale "The Richest Man in Babylon," George S. Clason emphasizes the principle of seeking knowledge and self-improvement, of ones own accord. Similarly, we are asked frequently if we are making this advancement of our own free will and accord. Masonry understands that personal growth requires a proactive approach. No one else, but we ourselves, can read our minds or analyze our experiences to determine a scarcity of understanding or a lack of education in a given area. Masonry can encourage the cultivation and promote a thirst for knowledge, but only we can continuously seek opportunities for self-improvement. Only we can say, “I don’t know or understand what the Appropriate thing is, in this circumstance —please enlighten me, Brother.” Furthermore, only we can say “thank you for that correction, I did not understand that before, …..

This month, we share an excerpt from the June 2023 Scottsdale Lodge No. 43 Accountability (cont’d)

I appreciate the value that I must represent, for you to make the time to give me better direction.” By taking ownership of our own development, just as we seized ownership in our desire to become affiliated with this great institution, we as Masons, demonstrate our commitment to becoming better individuals. If we stop and truly consider the fact, we in fact rely on one another, as brothers, specifically as a community of accountability; wherein we are strengthened and empowered for selfimprovement, individually and collectively. Very few places, institutions or persons, in this western world offer a constructive beneficent environment where men can be held accountable from a perspective of Love and support. Through our rituals, ceremonies, and shared experiences, we have an opportunity to reinforce our commitment to the principles of brotherhood and personal development in a manner that is quite unique in this world and has been proven effective for countless generations. Within the lodge, we are taught to aid, support, and protect each other, to challenge one another in our capacity to fulfill and achieve, and to hold each other accountable for our actions. While it may at times be difficult to see, this collective accountability strengthens the bond among us and creates an environment conducive to growth and improvement. The accountability we practice as Masons, extends beyond the confines of the lodge. As individuals, we embrace our various respective roles; as responsible citizens, we uphold the domestic and public virtues and invite and remind one another to be exemplary in these efforts. We understand that our actions reflect not only on ourselves but also each one of our Brothers, not to mention the broader body of Masonry at large. This awareness encourages each of us to reflect the true nature of our principles and concerns by our own examples, demonstrating integrity, compassion, and accountability in all aspects of life.

Poets Corner

I am the Rock

by Francis R. Fritz

I am the rock made of unknown stone I have lay’n about with no particular home I may be rough, yet show little signs of disrepair

I seek the hands of a mason’s loving care

With the compass, the plumb and yes the square, I seek the light of the craft’s ancient fare.

Using the tools of the mason’s craft, Rough though I may be, A smooth ashlar I strive to see, The stone that few o’er the ages have dared to be, A member of that greatest of fraternities, And a home I will have found, One small pillar of that tradition so profound, A rock of the temple made better by the light of every degree, A freemason, a brother,

In Friendship, Morality, and Brotherly Love shall I be!

Brother Francis Fritz is member of Glendale Lodge No. 23

On The Level

Where Masons share stories of their masonic journey

***Recorded on May 30th, 2019***

Robert Johnson—The Truth in Freemasonry

“I have a general love of history and philosophy and an interest in the underlying dogma of world religions…...Personally, I identify as a deist so I believe in a Supreme Being, but I don't necessarily believe any particular revealed religion…..Because of that, I’ve been exposed to world religions and I study world religions….take a step back and look at them objectively, subjectively….and I see this idea of truth in there somewhere. And I think Freemasonry, as a system of Moral instruction as it stands, we teach that truth, and I think it’s buried in our ritual ...What feeds me really is the search for more truth and knowledge...Masonry teaches this one lesson which is really interesting because these 10 other religions also teach the same thing and what’s even more interesting is that Freemasonry is not a religion but yet fortifies all of these different systems. And if it fortifies these things, with this similar vein throughout, then we get a lot closer to calling something an Absolute Truth than something that’s maybe Prima Facie.”

Brother Robert Johnson was raised Waukegan Lodge No. 78 in Illinois.

Setting ourselves up for Success

By Bro. Randy Sanders, A Midnight Freemasons Contributor

The other day I was reminded to play chess, not checkers. I heard and used that saying myself, so it came as a shock to hear them used back at me! Was I not following my own advice? Did I fail to pick up on whatever opportunity arose from my activities?

Freemasonry teaches the subtlety of self-realization by way of self-improvement. In a perfect world I would stop there and just meditate on that above sentence for a couple of weeks. Unfortunately, who has time to meditate just on that? Right? I challenge myself and all who read this to change perception and make this a priority. Self-realization comes by way of self-improvement. Success in the future comes by way of developing ourselves now.

Proper planning, the discipline of defining goals, and maintaining a personal ritual remain very powerful tools in our personal toolkit. If ritual itself is so important to Freemasons, why do we take it for granted? There isn’t a question of whether or not there will be ritual, the more accurate question becomes which ritual should we open and close lodge with tonight? Readers might recognize that some jurisdictions have optional passages of ritual that aren’t required all the time. We plan ahead for that opening and closing of the lodge, we plan ahead to prepare ourselves mentally to enter a sacred space, and we plan ahead to actively participate even if we sit on the sidelines.

Proper planning might sound like a lofty goal for someone who tends toward spontaneity, and for some this is a challenge. I like to use the analogy of the NFL draft in such instances. If we boil it down to simple terms, we find three pros and three cons to any draftee or in this case any situation. We write down three pros and write down three cons, then we walk away for a while. Maybe we move on to another task to return to this planning or decision at a later time. We find that writing down the pros and cons gives us a chance at an enhanced perspective, and often the decision becomes obvious.

Setting up for Success (cont’d)

By Bro. Randy Sanders, A Midnight Freemasons Contributor

My version of the NFL draft doesn’t begin to cover the depth of management training, short and long term planning, leadership development, and other such teachings, yet it serves me well for decisions that might have an emotional attachment. I may want to choose one path, but the perspective of writing down the top three pros and cons for that decision gives me clarity toward which path is best at that time. This simple mind game of writing down the pros and cons sets me up for later success in making the optimal choice while giving me perspective and time to consider my options. It allows me to play chess, not checkers, in taking time to visualize my future moves.

Longer term planning becomes a game of fill in the blanks after we define a timeline or similar parameter. I know that when a project gets a green light to proceed, that I need a plan in place to make it successful. I know I need a goal, and maybe I can subdivide that goal. If the Junior Deacon wants to have a competition Lodge Bowling League for example, the current Worshipful Master would be wise to schedule a few social nights at the local bowling alley. The current Senior Warden would be wise to plan to set into motion regular bowling practice sessions during his term as Worshipful Master. Now the Junior Warden implements his plans based on the success set up by the senior officers. The Junior Warden’s dream of a competition bowling league has a much better chance of success when the plan is created and executed than just springing it on the Brethren after the Junior Warden advances to the Master’s chair in the East.

The above is a simplistic example. If your lodge wants to be successful in an event, having people show up and stand around is useless. Having people show up over time to implement an incremental plan leading into a longer-term goal suddenly sounds more productive. Well, it does to me anyway.

St. John the Baptist

From The Grand Lodge of Ohio Freemason.com

June 24th is St. John the Baptist Day, a day meant to celebrate the life and death of St. John the Baptist. Revered as one of Freemasonry’s Patron Saints, John the Baptist has deep ties to the early beginnings of Freemasonry and has influenced our fraternity for generations.

On June 24th, 1717 the Grand Lodge of England was officially formed to celebrate the Feast of St. John the Baptist, and soon, John the Baptist and St. John the Evangelist were acknowledged as the Patron Saints of Freemasonry. June 24th is also used as a day for many Lodge’s to install their new Worshipful Master or Grand Master. While in the early days many Scottish Freemasons favored St. John the Evangelist, the Freemasons residing in England tended to favor St. John the Baptist – a pattern later appearing in speculative lodges too. It is known that a group of stonemasons and carpenters in Europe were known as the “Fraternity of Saint John the Baptist.” This Patron Saint is highly revered in Freemasonry & has roots in our beginnings.

Life and Death of St. John the Baptist

Living early in the 1st century AD, St. John the Baptist has been a major religious figure in Christianity from the beginning and is regarded as a prophet in other religions too. As described in the New Testament, aside from being Jesus’ cousin, he is seen as foreshadowing Christ’s arrival. Many historians and students of religion believe that John baptized Jesus, and similar accounts of this baptism are found in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke. A majority of Jesus’ early followers also may have been originally followers of St. John the Baptist. This Patron Saint was most well-known for his values of strict devotion and zeal for a strong moral character and ascetic life. His death around the time of 28-36 AD was due to his refusal to renounce his following of Jesus.

The Summer Solstice

In countries around the world, June 24th is also known as the summer solstice, this time dedicated to St. John takes place about mid-way through the year. The summer solstice is most well-known for being the longest day of the year, the day where the sun graces us for the longest period of time. It seems quite in line with Masonic values that one of our Patron Saints is recognized on the day where Masons seemingly have the most time to “seek light.”

Many celebrations on this day include large feasts, formal events, and regalia. While it may not have as much significance in the United States as it once did, many individuals host summer celebrations on this day and honor this Patron Saint. We invite you and your Lodge to take advantage of the day and host a Lodge-wide celebration to honor St. John the Baptist.

Feast of St. John the Baptist

From Worshipful Brother David Fierro

St. John the Baptist day, the 24th of June 1717 was a day our brothers “resolved to cement themselves under a new Grand Master and to revive the communications and annual festivals of the Society”. “To revive” suggests that some tradition was lost or faded, and needed to be reborn.

This June 24th, brothers from the Phoenix and Tucson areas will be holding a time honored tradition of meeting as brothers close to the summer solstice and celebrating the genesis of our modern craft. This celebration has been long forgotten and the brothers of this state will restore this day to what our brothers 306 years ago had intended.

These two gatherings are meant for all brothers and whether or not you are able to attend, it is hoped that you will celebrate this Masonic holiday by your own method, knowing that around the world brothers will be observing the same celebration!
