We should always remember the price Joseph and Hyrum Smith paid, along with so many other faithful men, women, and children, to establish the Church.
To ensure a righteous judgment, the Savior’s atoning sacrifice will clear away the underbrush of ignorance and the painful thorns of hurt caused by others.
As women of faith, we can draw principles of truth from the Prophet Joseph’s experiences that provide insights for receiving our own revelation.
When personal difficulties or world conditions beyond our control darken our path, the spiritually defining memories from our book of life are like luminous stones that help brighten the road ahead.
The Lord is trying to help us—all of us—get His gospel deeper in our hearts.
As we pray in faith, we become a vital part in the Lord’s work as He prepares the world for His Second Coming.
Changes to Church leadership are proposed and sustained through the principle of common consent.
The Church follows the practices taught to its members of living within a budget, avoiding debt, and saving against a time of need.
The historical facts and the special witnesses of the Book of Mormon testify that its coming forth was indeed miraculous.
We can do difficult things and help others do the same, because we know in whom we can trust.
The central message of the Book of Mormon is to restore the true knowledge of the essential role of Jesus Christ in the salvation and exaltation of mankind.
I invite you to remember each day the greatness of Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ and what They have done for you.

During the coming years, may we allow the improvements made to the Salt Lake Temple to move and inspire us.
At this season of hosanna and hallelujah, sing hallelujah—for He shall reign forever and ever!
Through the priesthood, we can be lifted. The priesthood brings light into our world.
We are given the opportunity to minister like angels, to preach the gospel on all the continents of the earth, and to help souls come unto Christ.
The most effective way to fulfill our divine potential is to work together, blessed by the power and authority of the priesthood.
The Lord is leading the Restoration of His gospel and His Church. He knows the future perfectly. He invites you to the work.
In the Church the authority of the priesthood is exercised under the direction of a priesthood leader who holds the keys of that priesthood.
Let us put our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ into action!
The prophecies that have been fulfilled by the Restoration of the fulness of the gospel of Jesus Christ are many.
Look and pray for opportunities to let your light shine that others may see the way to Jesus Christ.
Because the Restoration reaffirmed the foundational truth that God does work in this world, we can hope, we should hope, even when facing the most insurmountable odds.
The covenants received and the ordinances performed in temples are essential to the sanctifying of our hearts and for the ultimate exaltation of God’s sons and daughters.
Our Father knows that when we are surrounded by uncertainty and fear, what will help us the very most is to hear His Son.
Among Latter-day Saints, the sacred ceremony of the Hosanna Shout is usually reserved for temple dedications. It is given in the spirit of thanksgiving and petition, fulfilling the instruction to bless the name of the Lord with loud voices and "with a sound of rejoicing", with "hosannas to him that sitteth upon the throne forever". The Hosanna Shout memorializes the pre-earthly Council in Heaven, as "when all the sons of God shouted for joy" (Job 38:7). It also recalls the hosannas and the waving of palm branches accorded the Messiah as he entered Jerusalem. And hosannas welcomed him as he appeared to the Nephites. President Lorenzo Snow taught that this shout will herald the Messiah when he comes in the glory of the Father (1 Thes. 4:16).
We who know God’s plan and who have covenanted to participate have a clear responsibility to teach these truths.
Continuous revelation has been received and is being received through channels the Lord has established.
Jesus Christ and His Atonement are the refuge that we all need, regardless of the storms that are battering our lives.
We invite all of God’s children throughout the world to join us in this great endeavor.
The Savior is the perfect engineer, builder, and interior designer. His project is the perfection and eternal joy of our souls.
The Restoration belongs to the world, and its message is especially urgent today.
I bless you with peace and increasing faith in the Lord.
