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.”

Meekness

"Meekness is a facilitator in the development of all the other Christian virtues.
Combined with the other virtues, it supplies many human needs,
including perspective.
After cataloging various qualities, such as
faith, virtue, knowledge, temperance, patience, godliness, kindness, and charity,
Peter declared that if an individual lacks these qualities, he will not be able to
"see afar off." (2 Peter 1:5-9)
Determining whether we will myopically and selfishly or
LIVE NOW FOR ETERNITY
is a fundamental decision that colors every day of daily life.
To live a life of "thanksgiving daily" (Alma 34:38)
while in the midst of adversity and its tutorials
is impossible without a degree of
MEEKNESS."

Elder Neal A. Maxwell
"Meek and Lowly"
