“In reflecting on the need to cultivate the virtue of
temperance, I am reminded of the words of Hannah, the mother of the prophet
Samuel—a woman of remarkable faith who, even after great trials, offered a song
of gratitude to the Lord. She said, ‘Talk no more so exceeding proudly; let not
arrogancy come out of your mouth: for the Lord is a God of knowledge, and by
him actions are weighed.’ Her song is more than a prayer—it is a self-addressed
invitation to act with humility, self-control, and moderation. Hannah reminds
us that true spiritual strength is not expressed in impulsive reactions or
haughty words but in temperate, thoughtful attitudes aligned with the Lord’s
wisdom. As covenant people, we are called to live with our hearts firmly rooted
in the sacred promises we have made to the Lord, carefully following the
pattern He established through His perfect example.” – Elder Ulisses Soares
