Entered Apprentice

If a man senses the stirrings in his heart for a deeper understanding of life than he has heretofore found, he will seek until he finds the fraternity. This longing of the heart is the beginning of his initiation, which is why each candidate who comes seeking Light is said to be first prepared in his heart. While Freemasonry is not a religion, its rites are of a serious nature, dignified in their presentation, and which impart teachings that, if properly understood, obligate a man to lead a better life. To get the greatest good from the rites, a candidate should prepare his mind and heart to understand and absorb the teachings of Masonry. The candidate should pay close attention to every part of the ritual. The forms of the rituals may be new and unusual to the candidate, but such forms have always been part of the initiated traditions of the world.
