“As home teachers, we are healers. As priesthood leaders, we
are healers. As fathers, sons, brothers, and husbands, we should be committed
and dedicated healers. We carry in one hand a vial of consecrated oil for
blessing the sick; in the other we carry a loaf of bread to feed the hungry;
and in our hearts we carry the peaceable word of God, ‘which healeth the
wounded soul.’ (Jacob 2:8) This is our first and foremost responsibility as
priesthood holders—and it applies to both Aaronic and Melchizedek Priesthood
holders. The restored gospel of Jesus Christ blesses lives not just when we
believe it—but much more when we live it. It is in the application of gospel
principles that individuals are uplifted and families are strengthened. It is
our privilege and responsibility not just to talk the talk but also to walk the
walk.” - President Dieter F. Uchtdorf
