Christmas Greetings December 2016
Dear brothers, "a little joy to prepare" the Christmas with its century-long tradition lives on to resort to known, to continue, to rekindle memories. We all know the symbols and props that accompany our everyday life in the same or similar form every winter, the holidays are beautiful. This permanence causes so many people to hang on Christmas; Without yesterday, the festival would have no meaning. All the more important are the many small surprises that make us happy with others, in which we realize that we are thought of. Gifts, friendly gestures, yes a word suffice sometimes to express: I am there, and I am glad that you are there. 
Maybe there's more to it than that. It is no coincidence that the unexpected devotion often triggers special joy. In our hectic, sometimes emotionally poor and material world, you should not only think about this in the Christmas season. The Board of our lodge and I wish all the brothers of our lodge as well as the brothers of friendly lodges, their wives or their life-companions, as well as their whole family a blessed, contemplative but also merry Christmas and a happy New Year, Combined with the best wishes, in particular satisfaction, health and a bit of luck. Allow me to look back at the end of the year 2016. For our lodge It was a very positive year, we met interesting and interested gentlemen; Some of which were our brothers. We had this year's 2016 intensive temple work in all St. John's degrees: Here is our journeyman's work with 6 promotions to highlight our 240. Foundation Festival and our last set-up and adoption work on 28. November, on which our LGM The Apprentice's speech, successful guest evenings, our summer meetings, our karnevalistisches Haxenessen, the asparagus food and the goose roast food as well as a memorable Christmas party for all. A big thank you to all the brothers and sisters and external helpers. Your work is not self-evident. Should I have kicked someone in the end of the year to the "feet", I ask myself to look at this, as I do likewise with those who have hurt me and my soul. Tolerating and forgiving the other should belong not only within the Brotherhood, but also to the basic assets of a human being. Now a little note for the coming year: after a year full of highlights in our lodge, we will endeavour to make the next year more humble and intense looking inward. The phrase from our religious doctrine "recognize yourself……" And the will "to work on our own rough stone" will continue to be the focus of our free-Moorish work for us. Please work on your own rough stone and not on rough stones of other brothers. With brotherly greetings and a goodbye on Thursday 5. January 2017 at 20.00, during a guest evening in the circle of our lodge brothers as well as dear guests with good conversations and a welcome to the new year, I remain, representing the board of directors of the "Johannis Lodge to Aries", as their serving brother I.
