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.”

·  Finding Those Who Are Lost

  • By Jose L. Alonso
  • 1 October 2011
Brothers and sisters, there may be many who, for some reason, are lost from our sight and who do not know that they are lost.

·   Courage to Stand Alone

  • By Thomas S. Monson
  • 1 October 2011
Do we have the moral courage to stand firm for our beliefs, even if by so doing we must stand alone?

·   Look Forward to Your Future

  • By Boyd K. Packer
  • 1 October 2011
You might be tempted to think as I did from time to time in my youth: “The way things are going, the world’s going to be over with. The end of the world is going to come before I get to where I should be.” Not so!

Perhaps the single greatest thing I learned from reading the Book of Mormon is that the voice of the Spirit comes as a feeling rather than a sound.

·   You Bless the Church

  • By Keith B. McMullin
  • 01 October 2011
It has been my experience that you who serve as deacons, teachers, and priests are as willing, reliable, and capable in doing your duty as we expect you to be.

·   The Power of the Scriptures

  • By Richard G. Scott
  • 01 October 2011
Pondering a passage of scripture can be the key to unlock revelation and the guidance and inspiration of the Holy Ghost.

·   Reach Out and Share

  • By L. Tom Perry

We must be bold in our declaration of Jesus Christ. We want others to know that we believe He is the central figure in all human history.

·  Tune in to the Lord

  • 01 October 2011
How sad it would be if the phone and computer, with all of their sophistication, drowned out the simplicity of sincere prayer to a loving Father in Heaven.

·   You Are Not Forgotten

  • By Dieter F. Uchtdorf
  • 01 October 2011
You are known and remembered by the most majestic, powerful, and glorious Being in the universe!

·  The Gift of Repentance

  • By D. Todd Christofferson
  • 01 October 2011
The gift of repentance is the true cause for celebration.

·   Stay Active and Worthy

  • By Jeffrey R. Holland
  • 01 October 2011
I am asking you young men to be active in the Church and to be clean. If required, I am asking you to get active and get clean.

  • By David A. Bednar
  • 01 October 2011
I encourage you to study, to search out your ancestors, and to prepare yourselves to perform proxy baptisms in the house of the Lord for your kindred dead.
