Masonic Prayer for the New Year
(1/2/2008)
Supreme Architect of the Universe,
As we are now about to end this year and begin anew, we recognize that we are continuing the cycle of the seasons in Your intricate and wondrous pattern of Life.
Accept our humble praises for the many mercies and blessings You have graciously conferred upon us. Pardon, we beseech You, whatever You have seen amiss in us and continue to us Your presence, protection and blessing.
May all our irregular passions of body, mind and soul be subdued as we walk upon the Mosaic Pavement, rest on the Indented Tessel and embrace the Blazing Star. May we daily increase our Faith in You, Hope in immortality and Charity for all mankind.
May we practice and attain the four Cardinal Virtues for our collective benefit: Temperance to completely control our passionate nature under every circumstance; Fortitude to display the courage to pursue our goals in the face of adversity and failure; Prudence to gain deep insights as to Your designs and regulate ourselves accordingly; and, Justice to demonstrate righteousness of thought and action and seek equity for all.
May we consistently practice Brotherly Love, which is our bond of Peace, the perfection of every Virtue, and the cement which unites us into one sacred band of Brothers and society of friends.
May we achieve full and complete personal Harmony with Your Divine vibration and extend Your Love and Devotion to our families and all creatures and elements within Your creation.
Revitalize us as we fulfill our heritage in pursuit of Your Ancient Mysteries. Strengthen our resolve to practice Your precepts that we may obtain the fulfillment of Your promises as the ultimate fruit of our labor and desire of our hearts.
Reward us with the liberation of our souls from the defects and illusions normally enslaving it as we earnestly study and apply to our lives the lessons of the seven liberal arts and sciences, namely, grammar, logic, rhetoric, geometry, arithmetic, astronomy and music.
As we fully experience illumination, identification and integration with You, may we share and enjoy Your Divine Wisdom, Spiritual Strength, Physical and Mental Beauty, Interpersonal Harmony, Inner Peace and Eternal Truth.
May Your guidance and love be with us now and forevermore.
Amen.
So mote it be.
Adapted from the Standard Work of the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Washington and The Meaning of Masonry by Walter Leslie Wilmshurst by Brother Richard Huddy, Warren G. Harding Lodge # 260, Poulsbo, Washington. December 31, 2007
