| a | SUBDUE OUR PASSIONS II |
| A | An interesting and important topic! One of my students asked me for a Masonic definition of "passions". Bro. Tresner had explained it to me as anything that we ALLOW to control us or permit to be done to us. Basically the same meaning as passive. Hence the passion in the "Passion Play" (Easter pageant), was because he ALLOWED it to be done. Passions are not always bad and therefore should not be eradicated...merely subdued. In other words, determine what you want to control or motivate your life. What "passions" should we, as Masons, allow to control our lives and thoughts? |
