“As mothers in Israel, we are the Lord’s secret weapon. Our
influence comes from a divine endowment that has been in place from the
beginning. In the premortal world, when our Father described our role, I wonder
if we didn’t stand in wide-eyed wonder that He would bless us with a sacred
trust so central to His plan and that He would endow us with gifts so vital to
the loving and leading of His children. I wonder if we shouted for joy at least
in part because of the ennobling stature He gave us in His kingdom. If the day
comes when we are the only women on earth who find nobility and divinity in
motherhood, so be it. For mother is the word that will define a righteous woman
made perfect in the highest degree of the celestial kingdom, a woman who has
qualified for eternal increase in posterity, wisdom, joy, and influence.” –
