Master's Message - June 2025

Brethren,

As we step into the month of June, we are greeted not only by longer days and warmer air, but also by the powerful symbolism of the summer solstice. The solstice marks the apex of light in our calendar year — a time when the sun, God's radiant creation, shines at its fullest, reminding us of the Divine Light that guides us as Masons

In our journey from darkness to light, the summer solstice stands as a sacred reminder of growth, renewal, and spiritual enlightenment. Just as the sun reaches its zenith in the heavens, we too are called to rise — in virtue, in wisdom, and in service to our fellow man.

June also ushers in the beginning of summer, a season of life and abundance. Let us use this time to reflect on the blessings we have received and rededicate ourselves to the Great Architect of the Universe. As the natural world flourishes under the sun's gaze, so too should our hearts grow in charity, brotherly love, and truth.

May we all be inspired by the brilliance of this season to renew our Masonic obligations, to walk uprightly in our various stations, and to shine forth as beacons of light in a world that deeply needs our example.

Let us rejoice in the warmth of the season — and the warmth of the Divine — as we continue our labor upon the spiritual trestleboard. So mote it be.

Peace,
Harry Turetzkin
Worshipful Master
