“Every woman has been endowed by God with distinctive
characteristics, gifts, and talents in order that she may fulfill a specific
mission in the eternal plan. The priesthood is for the benefit of all members
of the Church. While women do not hold the priesthood, men have no greater
claim than women upon the blessings that issue from it. The home is the basic
organization to teach an individual to walk uprightly before the Lord. Compassionate
service and a sensitivity to the needs of others are the principal purposes for
which a woman’s program was organized. Share your talents. Each of you, single
or married, regardless of age, has the opportunity to learn and grow. Expand your
knowledge, both intellectual and spiritual, to the full stature of your divine
potential. There is no limit to your influence for good. Share your talents,
for that which we willingly share, we keep. But that which we selfishly keep,
we lose.” – President Thomas S. Monson
