The above are the four Cardinal Virtues we hear of in the 1st Degree Charge and are represented by the four tassels at each corner of our Lodge carpet.
Prudence
is the ability to discern the appropriate course of action to be taken in a given situation at a given time.
It also means “discreet and worldly wise”.
Fortitude
– Courage, Strength and Endurance.
Temperance
– Self control Discretion and Moderation.
Justice
- Sense of Fairness
Coupled with Benevolence and Charity, the above virtues are the essential signposts to a happy, meaningful and balanced life.
