Degrees of the Lodge of Perfection
The 4th through the 14th Degrees of
Scottish Rite Masonry |
| |
|
4˚ - Master Traveler |
| Here is the introduction to
Scottish Rite Masonry. This degree provides us with a preview of
the moral truths we shall witness on our journey through the Scottish
Rite |
| |
|
5˚ - Perfect Master |
| This degree teaches us that
selfish thoughts and unworthy ambitions will corrupt and destroy a man. |
| |
|
6˚- Master of the Brazen Serpent |
| We learn from this degree that we
must have faith in ourselves, faith in each other, and faith in God. |
| |
|
7˚- Provost and Judge |
| Justice should be impartial and
tempered with mercy. This degree teaches us that we should not
judge hastily. |
| |
|
8˚- Intendant of the Building |
| We are reminded in this degree
that each new honor is a step toward moral perfection. Each honor
earned requires attention to a particular duty. |
| |
| 9˚- Master of the Temple |
| The message of this degree is
that mutual belief in a Supreme Being should bind all men together in a
worldwide brotherhood. |
| |
| 10˚- Master Elect |
| We learn in this degree that a
person who violates his obligations, regardless of his station in life,
will not go unpunished. |
| |
|
11˚- Sublime Master Elected |
| This degree dramatizes the
importance of good citizenship, that honesty and respect for others
should be rewarded. |
| |
|
12˚- Master of Mercy |
| Exemplified in this degree is the
quality of forgiveness, not just to forego the opportunity for revenge,
but to cease to feel enmity or resentment toward the transgressor. |
| |
| 13˚- Master of the Ninth
Arch |
| This degree teaches us that
difficulties and dangers, however great, should not deter us from
progressing toward moral and ethical improvement. |
| |
| 14˚- Grand Elect Mason |
| As the summit of Ancient Craft
Masonry, this degree impresses us with the holiness of God and the
reverence due His Holy Name. |
