A return to virtue must begin individually in our hearts and in our homes. You are the guardians of virtue.

There is no more beautiful sight than a young woman who glows with the light of the spirit who is confident and courageous because she is virtuous.

Mothers, your relationship with your daughter is of paramount importance, and so is your example. How you love and honor her father, his priesthood, and his divine role will be reflected and perhaps amplified in your daughter’s attitudes and behavior.

Young women you will be the ones who will provide the example of virtuous womanhood and motherhood. You will continue to be virtuous lovely praiseworthy and of good report. You will also be the ones to provide an example of family life in a time when families are under attack, being redefined and disintegrating. You will understand your roles and your responsibilities and thus will see no need to lobby for rights.

You have a great destiny before you. This is your moment! I truly believe that one virtuous young woman, led by the Spirit, can change the world.

You must never underestimate the power of your righteous influence.

Sometimes our preoccupation is on having friends. Perhaps we should focus on being a friend.
