“May I say to mothers collectively, in the name of the Lord,
you are magnificent. You are doing terrifically well. The very fact that you
have been given such a responsibility is everlasting evidence of the trust your
Father in Heaven has in you. He knows giving birth to a child doesn’t
immediately propel you into the circle of the omniscient. If you strive to love
God and live the gospel; if you plead for that guidance and comfort of the Holy
Spirit promised to the faithful; if you go to the temple to both make and claim
the promises of the most sacred covenants you can make in this world; if you show
others, including your children, the same caring, compassionate, forgiving
heart you want heaven to show you; if you try your best to be the best parent
you can be, you will have done all that a human being can do and all that God
expects you to do.” – Elder Jeffrey R. Holland
