Dear Brother,
The end of the year turned out to be the beginning of a journey for us: the journey of dignity, honor and pride in being members of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite in Romania. We will walk this road, you and I, shoulder to shoulder with our other brothers in the coming year as well. That way we could have the chance to join the gallery of honor opened by our illustrious predecessors.
The chance to one day become "illustrious forerunners" for those who will inherit from us, at the end of our work, a powerful Rite, respected, admired and, why not... envied! As long as you know how to be respected in the place where you live, and each of us knows how to be respected where he lives, we will not stay only with respect between us: the Rite will be respected. Through each of us, the Rite and through the Rite, each of us! I swore allegiance to our country, Romania. We will continue to serve our Country by deeds, respecting its laws and tradition, supporting its values.
Adhering to our Statute and Covenants, we will continue to express faith, compassion and charity in action.
On behalf of the Supreme Council, may the New Year find you better, healthier and happier!
This is how the New Year will be for you: better, brighter, with health and joy!
Happy birthday like this! With all my heart!
Stelian Nistor, 33
