Quotes I like about Priesthood

From the Young Women leaders of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. https://www.lds.org/blog/how-to-help-young-women-see-their-value-in-the-church?cid=HP_WE_25-10-2017_dOCS_fBLOG_xLIDyL2_

                                           Sister Marriott: We’ve 

heard it, but it’s hard to get it into our minds, to make that shift that the priesthood is not the men of the Church. Priesthood is the power of God, and we all work with that power—not necessarily with keys or even with duties described in the scriptures, but we all have this power as we fulfill our covenant responsibilities.

Sister McConkie: And when they (referring to the young women of the Church) receive the Spirit of God in their lives, then they receive heavenly direction. They learn how to function in the work of salvation, in the work of the priesthood. All of the work of salvation is done by priesthood power. And we access that priesthood power as we participate in the work, but the confidence to do that comes through the Spirit. 

President Uchtdorf, an Apostle of God and leader of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, gave this advice to the men who have Priesthood responsibilities. 


"My dear brothers, you are instruments in the hands of the Lord . . . Perhaps you do not feel qualified to heal those who are spiritually ill . . . Nevertheless, the Lord has called you. He has given you authority and responsibility to reach out to those in need. He has endowed you with His sacred priesthood power to bring light into the darkness and uplift and bless God’s children."
