I want to be a Freemason

DO YOU KNOW MASONRY?

Historically, Masonry has been known as a “Thousand-living Institution”, what can be justified by its registered action over the centuries, as well as some Mason’s activities that ended up getting lost in time. Nowadays, we are an Order composed by the diversity of races, skin colors, beliefs and professional actions in every segment of society, but centered in ideals that elevate humanity.

BEING A MASON

The principles of Fraternal Love, Assistance and Loyalty guide us. Being a Mason implies a process of continuous learning in the practice of cardinal virtues, which Faith, Prudence, Justice, Hope, Temperance, Fortitude and Charity are emphasized. Becoming a mason is a decision taken by men who, by becoming Brother Members, take part of a commitment.

Liberty, Equality and Fraternity guide us. Those three concepts are paramount in our mission. By considering the men have the power of prevailing themselves and getting freedom from the oppression that tends to close their eyes, Liberty sustains the constant search for the Truth. Equality refers to the opening we have to creating new groups, which acknowledge the virtue, wisdom, talents, merits, individual works, but are rooted in the premise that all men are born equal. Thus, Fraternity is established, for we strive to comprehend and respect our differences by uniting them in order to defeat the evil and make good prevail.
