President Gordon B. Hinckley's Challenge and Promise

President Gordon B. Hinckley said in a

worldwide leadership training meeting:

“I am convinced there is no other organization anywhere to match the Relief Society of this Church.

If they will be UNITED and speak with ONE VOICE,

Their STRENGTH will be INCALCULABLE!”

Relief Society - A Restoration of an Ancient Form

RELIEF SOCIETY

“A Restoration of an Ancient Pattern”


Although the name may be modern date,

the institution is of ANCIENT ORIGIN.

We were told by our martyred prophet

that the same organization EXISTED

in the church ANCIENTLY.”

Mothers - Temples - Posterity = PURE JOY!

Jared Beagley with his "beaming" mother - Kari

From the moment our children are placed into our arms...is the moment we begin to PRAY...from their very first breath...that they will DO BETTER than we did...and that they WILL stay TRUE to our HEAVENLY FATHER'S PLAN...!

There are THOUSANDS of MOTHERS...today, on bended knee praying over her little flock...and for YEARS afterwards...these same mothers will be on bended knee...pleading for guidance on how they can help lead this daughter or that son...to the "tree of life"...

This past weekend, one such mother is REJOICING in her POSTERITY...a dream pondered over...for the past 19 years...to witness her child...enter the "House of the Lord"...I know of NO GREATER JOY than that!

Elder David B. Haight said: "...when a mother honors and magnifies her calling, she is preparing for the eternities. She is not only preparing her children for their eternal destiny, but she is also preparing herself to become a queen and a priestess forever."

"As the First Presidency have declared: 'Motherhood is near to divinity. It is the highest, holiest service to be assumed by mankind. It places her who honors its holy calling and service next to the angels." (Conference Report, October 1942, pp. 12-13) (Quoted from - "Woman" - page 19)
