“We sometimes overly associate the power of the priesthood
with men in the Church. The priesthood is the power and authority of God given
for the salvation and blessing of all—men, women, and children. A man may open
the drapes so the warm sunlight comes into the room, but the man does not own
the sun or the light or the warmth it brings. The blessings of the priesthood
are infinitely greater than the one who is asked to administer the gift. To
receive the blessings, power, and promises of the priesthood in this life and
the next is one of the great opportunities and responsibilities of mortality.
As we are worthy, the ordinances of the priesthood enrich our lives on earth
and prepare us for the magnificent promises of the world ahead. The Lord said, ‘In
the ordinances the power of godliness is manifest.’” – Elder Neil L. Andersen
