As we know, the year 2016 marked, along the way, some important events:<\/p>\n
In this context, outlined here only by first-hand events, it was in the nature of things that the National Session of March 25-26 this year would receive a special significance.<\/p>\n
Coming only a few days after the establishment of the astronomical spring, the current Session is a moment of welcome introspection, for those willing to see beyond appearances, and rightly opens another doctrinal season: thus marking the "equinox of spring \u201dof our Masonic Work.<\/p>\n
The conduct, on days, hours and events, of this Session was established in advance and communicated in time to all the Brothers members of the RSAA in Romania; her diary contains "moments" and "events" of real soul vibration - which we will talk about as soon as everything has happened properly.
\nSome preliminary considerations are, however, necessary; thus, the fact that neither Order 32 KCCH nor Grade 33 and Last will be awarded at this Session, is explained by the rigor that must be re-established regarding the Initiation and accession to High Degrees: degrees that can only be granted in strict accordance with the provisions of the Grand Constitutions of 1762 and 1786.<\/p>\n
As stated by the Sovereign Grand Commander, the RSAA in Romania does not sell degrees - as, in the Middle Ages, the Papacy sold "indulgences"; but grants salary increases only to the Brethren who stand out through a constant and fruitful activity inside and outside the Rite\u2026 All the more rigorous must work this qualitative criterion in the two cases mentioned expresis verbis.<\/p>\n
I do not insist. I'm just saying that things are changing; that they are back on track. The time has come, then!<\/p>\n
The time has come for a stronger discourse of identity, including the assertion of Freemasonry - of our Rite, in particular - as the matrix of modern Romania.<\/p>\n
The time has come to prove by deeds that, although we are an elitist organization, holders of the High Degrees and of the qualities \/ qualifications that the said degrees presuppose, our message is not an "elitist" one; that, through everything it undertakes, our work is addressed to the decent majority: who simply sees their work and is willing - through work - to contribute to Romania's prosperity.<\/p>\n
The time has come to reject the retrograde and defensive discourse of the so-called conservatives, as well as the labels uttered against us by the \u201cliberalism\u201d self-identified with the \u201cprogress\u201d of Romania.<\/p>\n
The time has come to enhance and capitalize on those intellectual resources willing and able, through solidarity and brotherhood, to consolidate the Euro-Atlantic profile of today's Romanian society.<\/p>\n
The time has come to promote, between ourselves and outside of us, balance, moderation, suppleness: as constituent elements of a social organism capable of metabolizing the challenges of an increasingly polarized world.<\/p>\n
The time has come! Spring is here!<\/p>\n
