The Living Lord Leads His Living Church.

We Live In A Time Of Turmoil. Earthquakes And Tsunamis Wreak Devastation, Governments Collapse, Economic Stresses Are Severe, The Family Is Under Attack, And Divorce Rates Are Rising. We Have Great Cause For Concern. But We Do Not Need To Let Our Fears Displace Our Faith. We Can Combat Those Fears By Strengthening Our Faith.

Sweet Serenity Is Found In Fervent Prayer. Then, We Forget Ourselves And Remember The Reaching Hands Of The Savior, Who Said, "come Unto Me, All Ye That Are Heavy Laden, And I Will Give You Rest." As Our Burdens Are Shared With Him, They Do Become Lighter.

Each Holy Temple Stands As A Symbol Of Our Membership In The Church, As A Sign Of Our Faith In Life After Death, And As A Sacred Step Toward Eternal Glory For Us And Our Families.

A Pivotal Spiritual Attribute Is That Of Self-mastery-th E Strength To Place Reason Over Appetite. Self-mastery Builds A Strong Conscience. And Your Conscience Determines Your Moral Responses In Difficult, Tempting, And Trying Situations.

When Our Hearts Turn To Our Ancestors, Something Changes Inside Us. We Feel Part Of Something Greater Than Ourselves. Our Inborn Yearnings For Family Connections Are Fulfilled When We Are Linked To Our Ancestors.
