Toast to the visitors freemasonry

However, after having a walk around the anteroom I realised, much to my disappointment, that there were no visitors there. Maybe next time. The ritual went fine and when we got round to the salutations, we had the usual greeting from the Silent Six and other usual suspects, nothing out of the ordinary. But then one brother got up and greeted the WM in representation of a lodge I had not heard of before. And the brother sat down, and after him another got up, who also brought warm and fraternal greetings from some distant lodge. And after him a whole group of 5 or 6 stood up, in representation of yet another visiting lodge… By the time the salutations were over, it was clear that, in fact, about half of the brothers in that Temple were visitors. I had turned up at the hall seeking to welcome some doe-eyed, slightly nervous brethren who looked a bit lost. But, as it turns out, that is not what visitors look like at all. When I arrived, they had been there already amongst the brethren, but chatting away, enjoying the same jokes, and looking completely at ease. And I realised then what visiting is actually all about. Visiting is not like a trip to the theatre, where you go to watch a performance being put on by a group of strangers.

For health and food, for love and friends, For everything Thy goodness sends, Great Architect, we thank thee. God bless our meat, God quide our ways, God give us grace Our Lord to please. Lord, long preserve in peace and health Our gracious Queen Elizabeth.

We are now approaching the holiday season where we typically enjoy several year-end parties. For many Grand jurisdictions, it marks the end of the Masonic Year, and the birth of a new one. Knowing the festive atmosphere of such occasions I posted a request on the Internet soliciting favorite Masonic toasts. As usual, the Brethren responded generously. Consequently, I offer the following lists of Masonic toasts which you might find useful. Thanks to all of the Brothers for their contributions. Be sure to read the comments for more toasts, or to add your own to this festive collection. Note: Not so much a toast, but a Grace, which may only appeal to the Scottish who support a particular football team. Origin unknown. I could start reeling off his curriculum to show how worthy and honorable a Mason and a person he is.
