Merry Christmas!


Love is…

The great commandment
The healing balm that repairs rifts in personal and family relationships
The bond that unites families, communities, and nations.
The power that initiates friendship, tolerance, civility, and respect
The source that overcomes divisiveness and hate
The fire that warms our lives with unparalleled joy and divine hope
The defining characteristic of a disciple of Christ
The source of the highest bliss and the heaviest burdens
The motive that transports simple words into sacred scripture
The factor that transforms reluctant compliance with God’s commandments into blessed dedication and consecration
The guiding light that illuminates the disciple’s path and fills our daily walk with life, meaning, and wonder
The measure of our faith, the inspiration for our obedience, and the true altitude of our discipleship

President Dieter F. Uchtdorf
