Fruition

Brothers the greatest thing about this blog is educating myself and sharing my findings. My Masonic career started at the ripe old age of 13 in the Order of DeMolay and then progressed on to the Blue Lodge in 1983. Whenever I hear faith, hope and charity, I always think back to my EA degree. Fellowship Lodge used props while doing the second section of the lecture to bring to life what was being lectured about.

Jacob's ladder was a small scale model of a ladder with three Styrofoam letters...F-H-C...representing faith, hope and charity........for faith may be lost in sight, hope may end in fruition, but charity extends beyond the grave.........For all these years fruition has been one of those words which is peculiar to the lectures and is not commonly used in today's language; all of these years I thought it meant the exact opposite of what it really means.

Fruition; attainment of anything desired; realization; accomplishment:

So for something to end in fruition actually means that the project or aim has been achieved or accomplished. 
Of course faith is believing in something which can't be seen but through our sight and our minds sometimes we lose faith. Charity is to provide something to someone in need and we know that through foundations, trusts, etc that our charity can live on after our death, i.e. The Masonic Charitable Foundation.

May your search for light end in fruition !!!!!!
