As every year, the Sovereign Grand Commander of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Romania, His Almighty and Illustrious Brother Stelian Nistor, 33 ° addressed a message of joy and trust to all the brethren:
Bucharest, on April 23, 2022
My dear brother,
On May 7 we will be together again in the joy of two years desired and expected…
Until then, I know you know how useful it would be if, at least during the days of the Holy Feast of Easter, we managed to be better, more forgiving, and even happier. Or healthier and happier. Or wiser… But can we?
The commotion around us, generated and maintained by the pandemics and the vicinity of the war, almost does not allow us to hear the voice of reason. What about the voice of the heart?
Can we pay someone to feed us, can we pay someone to pick our cherries or supply us, but can we pay someone else to be healthy, happy or wise in our place? I don't think so. We try to take these on our own.
See, my dear Brother, we are part of the Scottish Rite, the elite of Freemasonry. This also means realizing that we are part of something much bigger than any of us, taken by ourselves. The Scottish rite was resisted by men who honorably assumed the obligations of military and chivalric tradition, not just rights. This assumption brings us forward as well.
On May 7 we will be together again in the magic of two years desired and expected. Until then, we have the days of the Holy Feast of Easter that help us in trying to be better, more understanding and even happier! Or healthier and happier. Then,, we will try to be wiser. We, in our place. We, in our place.
Christ is Risen!
We are going forward! Fixed forward!
Stelian Nistor, 33º
