Compassion
"What we can do to help--teaching, and doing it with the spirit of righteousness, with love, with tenderness, with example--centers on the Savior and his atonement. That is what we would teach. The Atonement working in our lives will produce in us the love and tenderness we need. And by remembering Him and His gift, which we promise to do as we take the sacrament each week, we can put a light of hope in our faces which those we love need so much to see."
—Henry B. Eyring, "The Spark of Faith", Liahona and Ensign, November 1986
Topics: Atonement, Service, Love, Compassion, Covenants"We must recognize that we are all imperfect—that we are beggars before God. Haven’t we all, at one time or another, meekly approached the mercy seat and pleaded for grace? Haven’t we wished with all the energy of our souls for mercy—to be forgiven for the mistakes we have made and the sins we have committed?"
—President Dieter F. Uchtdorf, "The Merciful Obtain Mercy", General Conference, Apr. 2012
Topics: Forgiveness, Compassion
