The temples are a refuge from life's storms even a never-failing beacon guiding us to safety.
Thomas S. MonsonThere will be occasions in each of our lives when we will be called upon to explain or to defend our beliefs. When the time for performance arrives, the time for preparation is past.
Thomas S. MonsonThe work is demanding, the impact everlasting. This is no time for 'summer soldiers' in the army of the Lord.
Thomas S. MonsonThe spirit must be freed from tethers so strong and feelings never put to rest, so that the lift of life may give buoyancy to the soul. In many families, there are hurt feelings and a reluctance to forgive. It doesnโt really matter what the issue was. It cannot and should not be left to injure. Blame keeps wounds open. Only forgiveness heals. George Herbert, an early 17th-century poet, wrote these lines: โHe that cannot forgive others breaks the bridge over which he himself must pass if he would ever reach heaven, for everyone has need of forgiveness.โ
