In this long eternal quest to be more like our Savior, may we try to be โperfectโ men and women in at least this one way nowโby offending not in word, or more positively put, by speaking with a new tongue, the tongue of angels. Our words, like our deeds, should be filled with faith and hope and charity, the three great Christian imperatives so desperately needed in the world today.

Jeffrey R. HollandIn that most burdensome moment of all human history, with blood appearing at every pore and an anguished cry upon His lips, Christ sought Him whom He had always soughtโHis Father. โAbba,โ He cried, โPapa,โ or from the lips of a younger child, โDaddy.โ This is such a personal moment it almost seems a sacrilege to cite it. A Son in unrelieved pain, a Father His only true source of strength, both of them staying the course, making it through the nightโtogether.
