This is ok too\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Today is a big holiday, which takes place in the middle of the family. But I also think about the fact that Freemasonry brought each of us Brothers that most of us did not have in our family at home. Freemasonry, like a second, bigger family, which, unlike the family at home, leaves us the option of choosing who to be Brothers with. This is ok too\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Last night, at the Resurrection, there was a lot of people in the churchyard, the majority being young adults, fewer young teenagers. The first category actually comes from the &quot;harvest&quot; of the second, above which the age thresholds have been set from which the voluntary observance of tradition increases self-respect. I went through this too, I think you too\u2026<\/p>\n<p>It was good for me to find that sharing the faith enhances in us the pride of being a Christian. The pride of belonging to &quot;something&quot; bigger and infinitely more comprehensive than myself. I felt inner joy from a few discreetly sketched greetings, but clearly &quot;as a sign of fidelity&quot;, a kind of delicate, but natural and dignified affirmation of the pride of also belonging to the Scottish Rite.<\/p>\n<p>Then I knew that my voice and your voice, wherever we were, even at such a holy moment, could actually be heard by each of our Brothers throughout the Land and throughout the World.<\/p>\n<p>It will also be heard when you say &quot;Christ is Risen!&quot; and when you answer &quot;Truly he is Risen!&quot;<\/p>\n<p>We are going forward? Yes, we are moving forward!<\/p>\n<p>So: Christ is Risen, my dear Brother, wherever you are!!!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Stelian Nistor, 33\u00ba<\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Message sent by the Sovereign Grand Commander to all members of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite in Romania<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4014,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[2,5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4011","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-acasa","category-noutati"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/scaasr.ro\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4011","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/scaasr.ro\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/scaasr.ro\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/scaasr.ro\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/scaasr.ro\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4011"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/scaasr.ro\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4011\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4015,"href":"https:\/\/scaasr.ro\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4011\/revisions\/4015"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/scaasr.ro\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4014"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/scaasr.ro\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4011"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/scaasr.ro\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4011"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/scaasr.ro\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4011"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
