“BROTHERLY COMPANIONSHIP”

​

​

Greetings Illustrious Companions,

​

First giving honor to God our Lord and Savior; please let us pray.

​

O’ Heavenly Father, I Thank You for the blessings you have given me, as you know I am excited to do your will. Please give me the guidance necessary to choose the correct path ahead of me. Please allow me not to be confused by the options, and give me the clarity and strength to make the truthful decisions you want me to make. I pray you continue to build a spirit of mutual cooperation among all the Companions of this Council; and create a close bond between us that exemplifies trust and godly principles. To You be the glory, Amen.

I humbly accept this honor you have bestowed upon me to serve as your newly elected Thrice Illustrious Master with an open mind, brotherly shoulder and Christian spirit.

​

This past fraternal year we have dealt with COVID-19 and all the irregularities it has brought and it is allowing us to take the time to reflect about why we continue to choose to make those repeating sacrifices within our daily respective family schedules along within our other Bi-monthly meetings routine virtually.  In other words, it is all about the dedication of our “Brotherly Companionship” towards one another and how we should challenge ourselves to become each other’s brother’s keeper.

​

Therefore, let’s continue to increase our fellowship as we effortlessly strive to support one another and look forward to yet another prosperous year; as our actions will be reflected by the increase in quality and quantity from the invitations of new Illustrious Companions into our fraternity.
