vouchsafe
verb (used with object)

2. to allow or permit, as by favor or graciousness: They vouchsafed his return to his own country.
We have all heard this word numerous times......Vouchsafe Thine aid almighty Father of the Universe
to this our present convention.
Convention is used to indicate a meeting or formal assembly....hmmmm.....quite interesting.
Endue him with a competency of Thy Divine wisdom.......if you explore the meaning of the word endue....
to invest or endow with some gift, quality, or faculty.
Therefore we are asking the Grand Architect of the Universe to aid us by granting through his graciousness and to allow the candidate at this assembly or meeting to be endowed or invested with the skills, knowledge and qualifications of the wisdom of God.
Four words that pack a powerful request into a few small sentences that we often take for granted.
Brothers.....our ritual is more than worth the price of admission to our fraternity if we open our minds to the
true meaning the words represent.
