At this time of year, we honor and celebrate the mothers and women in our lives. I recently asked one of my sons to describe his mom. Here is what he shared with me:

“She is a great example of Christlike love. Mom is so good at ministering to the one. I have learned from her

During a recent Instagram Live, someone asked the important question: “How can I find peace in my life?” Thanks to the words of ancient and modern-day prophets, we learn what we must do—and to whom we must turn—to find the peace we seek.

Jesus Christ is our Redeemer, our Mediator, and our Advocate with the Eternal Father and the rock upon which we should build the spiritual foundation of our lives.

“How does one use the Atonement of Jesus Christ in their life?”

I was asked this important question during an Instagram Live, and I hope my thoughts are helpful as we all strive to better understand the Atonement of Jesus Christ.

There is no physical pain, no spiritual wound, no anguish of soul or heartache, no infirmity or weakness you or I ever confront in mortality that the Savior did not experience first.

Because of His infinite and eternal sacrifice, He has perfect empathy and can extend to us His

One day when I was repairing the roof on our home, I went to a local store to purchase some additional supplies. I was wearing my customary work clothes—casual pants and shoes, a well-worn T-shirt, and a baseball hat. Wanting to quickly return home and complete my project, I

Elder Patrick Kearon and I were honored to meet today with new Liberia President Joseph Boakai in Monrovia, Liberia. We discussed education and self-reliance and how The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints can continue to assist with these efforts. We are grateful for our

In my personal gospel study, I have noted the recurring use of the word “work” in many well-known and often quoted passages of scripture.

When we think of God’s work, we may think of the works as the “wonders of eternity” and the “worlds without number” that he has created. Yet,

During a recent Instagram Live, I was asked: “How can we develop a greater sense of belonging at church?” This is a great question. I hope you will find my thoughts helpful.

During this World Interfaith Harmony Week, I invite each of us to engage in acts of learning and service, bridging gaps of understanding between different traditions and worldviews. Seek opportunities to listen, learn, and extend your love.

Today I shared with students at a BYU devotional that God’s work is focused upon the progression and exaltation of His children. Our work as sons and daughters of God is to love Him and keep His commandments.
As we each labor in mortality to accomplish God’s purposes, we are

As we begin a new year, I encourage you to reflect on the Savior’s invitation to become like Him. He said, “Therefore, what manner of men ought ye to be? Verily I say unto you, even as I am” (3 Nephi 27:27). How can we follow His example and strive to increase in righteousness?

“Remember that there is no other way nor means whereby man can be saved, only through the atoning blood of Jesus Christ, who shall come; yea, remember that he cometh to redeem the world” (Helaman 5:9).

“Thou shalt thank the Lord thy God in all things” (Doctrine and Covenants 59:7).

Susan and I love to spend time with the missionaries of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I admire their dedication, cheerfulness, and faithfulness to the gospel of Jesus Christ.

So, naturally, I was thrilled this week to take a group of political leaders and

The state of Hidalgo, Mexico, is being blessed with the announcement of two new houses of the Lord—one in Pachuca and one in Tula. I have been blessed to feel the excitement among members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and of the community about these two new

I am grateful for millions of members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints who today are coming unto the Savior and pressing forward on the covenant path. Your strong faith in Heavenly Father and the Lord Jesus Christ and your unpretentious, consecrated lives
