Parmeshwar ke Shakti aur Adhikaari se Dekhrekh

Hamaar priye bhaaiyon, dhanyevaad aapke bhakti ke liye jo aap Prabhu aur Uske pavitra kaam ke deta hai. Aapke saath shaamil hona vaastav me khushi ke baat hai. Ek naya Pratham Adhyakshta hoye ke, hum log aapke dhanyevaad deta hai aapke praathna aur samarthan ke prayaas ke liye. Hum log shukraguzaar hai aapke jeevan ke liye aur u sewa ke liye jo aap Prabhu ke deta hai. Aapke kartavye ke bhakti aur aapke niswaarthi sewa aapke niyukti ke liye utna mahatvapurn hai jitna ke humlog ke hai. Zindagi bhar i girjaghar me sewa dewe ke baad, hum seekha hai ki koi fark nahi padhe ki ek insaan kahaa sewa dewe hai. Prabhu ke parwaah rehwe hai kaise koi sewa kare.

Hum Pradhaan Thomas S. Monson ke ghera dhanyevaad deta hai, jon hamaar liye pachaas saal se zyaada udhaaran raha. Aur uske salahkaar, Pradhaan Henry B.Eyring aur Pradhaan Dieter F.Uchdorf, ke liye hum ghera prashansha deta hai. Hum shabaashi deta hai u log ke sewa ke liye jon u log Prabhu ke aur uske profat log ke dis. Ye dono sewanisht naukar log ke nayaa kaam saupa ge hai. U log taakat aur nishtha se abhi bhi sewa dewe hai. Hum dono ke adar aur prem karta hai.

Prabhu ke saccha aur jiwit girjaghar me Uske adhikaari aur shakti se sewa dena ek bahut gazab ke ashirvaad hai. Parmeshwar ke purohiti ke punahsthaapna, purohiti ke chaabi ke sahit, laayak Antim-Dino ke Santo ke liye sabse mahaan dhaarmik ashirvaad ke rasta khol dewe hai. Hum log u ashirvaad aurat, aadmi, aur ladkan log ke duniya bhar milte huye dekhta.

Hum log vishwaas se bhara stri log ke dekhta jon apan niyukti me bhara shakti ke samjhe aur apan endaoment aur mandir ke dharamvidhiyaan ke shakti ke bhi samjhe. I stri log jaane kaise swarg ke shakti istemaal karke, raksha aur mazbooti do apan pati, u long ke ladkan, aur baaki log ke jisse u log prem kare. I log dhaarmik se mazboot stri log hai jon aguaai dikhaye, shiksha dewe, apan niyukiti me bina dar ke dekhrekh kare Parmeshwaar ke shakti aur adhikaari ka!¹ Hum u log ke kitna shukraguzaar hai!

Waise hi, hum log vishwaas se bharaa aadmi log ke dekhta jon purohiti rakne waala apan vishesh subhida tak jiye. U log aguaai dikhaye aur baalidan karke sewa dewe Prabhu ke rakam prem se, daaya se, aur sabra se. U log ashirvaad dewe, rasta dikhawe, suraksha kare, aur dusra ke mazboot kare purohiti ke shakti se jon u log rakkhe. U log jiske sewa kare uske liye chamatkaar laawe apan vivah aur parivaar ke surakshit rakte huye. U log burai ke bhagaawe aur Israel me taqatwar elders hai.² Hum u log ke liye sabse zyaada shukraguzaar hai!

Ab, kya hum ek chinta ke awaaz uthai? U i hai: Hum log ke zyaada bhai aur bahen log purohiti ke shakti aur adhikaari ke baare me pura nahi samjhe hai. U log aise vyohaar kare ki u log mange apan laalchi maang aur bhookh ke pura karlewe aur Parmeshwar ke shakti ke nahi istemaal kare Uske ladkan ke arshirvaad dewe ke liye.

Hum dartaa hai ki hum log ke dher bhaai aur bahen log u vishesh subhida ke nahi haasil kare jon sake ulog ke rahe.³ Hum log ke kuch bhaai log, ek udhaaran hai, aise kare jaise ki u log nahi samjhe ki purohiti konchi hai aur u log usse konchi sake kare. Hamein thora vishist udhaaran dewan do.

Thora waqt pahele, Hum ek sekrament sabha me gaya jahan ek naya paidha huya bachcha ke naam aur pita ke ashirvaad mile ke raha. U jawaan pita apan kimti bachcha ke apan haath me pakdhis, uske ek naam dees, aur fir ek sundar praathna bolis. Lekin u us bachcha ke ashirvaad nahi dees. U pyaari bachchi ke naam to mil ge lekin ashirvaad nahi milis! U pyaara elder ek praathna aur ek purohiti ke arshirvaad ke fark nahi janta raha. Apan purohiti ke adhikaar aur shakti se, u apan bachcha ke sakta raha ashirvaad dewe, lekin u nahi dees. Hum socha, “Ketna achcha maoka khoi diya!”

Hamme aur udhaaran dewen do. Hum bhaai log ke janta jon bahen log ke niyukti kare Prathmik, Jawaan Mahilaao, yaa to Sahayak Sanstha neta aur shikshak ke roop me lekin u long ke ashish de ke asafal rehwe—u log ke ashish dewe u long ke kolling pura kare ke shakti se. U log khali chetaoni aur uddeshye dewe. Hum log ek laayak pitah ke dekhta jon apan patni aur ladkan ke purohiti ke ashirvaad dewe me chook jaawe jab u log ke zarurat rahe. Purohiti ke shakti i dharti pe wapaas ayege hai, aur fir bhi bahut bhaai aur bahen log jeevan me bhayaanak pariksha se guzhre hai kabhi sachcha purohiti ke ashirvaad lewe ke bina. Kitna dukh se bharaa baat hai! U ek dukh dukhad ghatna hai jon hum log sakta khatam kare.

Bhaaiyon, hum log Parmeshwar ke pavitra pristhud ke rakhewaala hai. Hum log ke pass Uske adhikaar hai Uske log ke ashirvaad dewe ke liye. Khali socho i accha ashwaasan ke baare me jon Prabhu hum log ke dees hai jab u bolis, “Jiske bhi aap log arshirvaad dega hum bhi ashirvaad dega.”⁴ Hum log ke vishesh subhida hai ki hum log Ishu Masih ke naam pe karya karta Parmeshwar ke ladkan ke ashirvaad dewe ke Uske marzi ke mutabik. Stake Pradhaan aur Bishop log, kripya aap pakka karna ki aapke prabaandhkarta ke andar har ek koram ke sadasye samjhe ki kaise pristhud ke ashirvaad diya jaata hai uske saath nijee laayak hona chahiye aur dhaarmik taiyaari maango raho taaki Parmeshwar ke shakti ke pura sakta shaamil kare.⁵

Sab bhaaiyon jon purohiti rakhis hai, Hum aapke nimantran deta hai ki aap sadasye log ke prerit karo apan vaada rakhe ke liye, upwaas aur praathna kare ke, dharamshashtra ke padhe ke, mandir me aaraadhna kare ke, aur Parmeshwar ke aadmi aur aurat banke vishwaas se sewa kare ke liye. Hum log sab ke sakta madad kare vishwaas ke aankhi se dekhe ke ki agyakaari aur nek kaam u log ke Ishu Masih ke kareeb leke jayi, U log ke anumati dei Pavitra Aatma ke sangat ke anand uthaye ke,aur zindagi me khushi ke anubhav kare ke!

Prabhu ke sachcha aur jiwit girjaghar hamesha ayojit rahi, koshish sanchalit karke Parmeshwar ke ek ek ladkan aur u long ke parivaar ke dekhrekh kare ke liye.⁶ Kyunki i la Uske girjaghar hai, hum log Uske naukar banke khali ek ke sahayata dega, jaise U karis raha.⁷ Hum log Uske naam pe sahayata dega, Uske shakti aur adhikaar se, aur uske prem aur dayaa se.

Ek anubhav huma sange 60 saal pahele Boston me hoyis raha jon hume sikhais ki ek ek insaan ke sahayata kare ke vishesh adhikaar kitna taqatwar hoye sake hai. Hum u waqt pe resident surgeon raha Massachusetts General aspataal me har roj kaam pe,har dusra raat ke, aur har dusra saptant me. Hamar paas simit samaye raha apan patni ke liye, hum log ke chaar ladkan ke liye, aur girjaghar ke gatividhi ke liye. Hamar branch pradhaan hamein niyukt karis Wilbur aur Leonora Cox ke ghare u log se mile jaawe ke u ummeed se ki Bhai Cox shayad girjaghar fir wapas aaye lagi. Uske aur Leonora ke bhandhna mandir me hoyis raha.⁸ Fir bhi Wilbur bahut saal se bhaag nahi lis raha.

Hum aur hamar saathi ulog ke ghare geya. Jaise hum log bhitar giya, Bahen Cox hum log ke swaagat karis,⁹ lekin Bhai Cox hatpati se ek aur kamra me jaaye ke palla band kar dis.

Hum band palla pe gaya aur nok kara. Ek pal ke baad, hum suna u bahut aaste ke bolis “Andar aao.” Hum palla khola aur Bhai Cox ke dekha puraana radio laa saajh samaan ke paas bhaithis raha. U chota kamra me, u ek sigaar barais. Bahut saaf raha, ki huma waha jaana uske pasand nahi raha.

Hum kamra ke hairat se dekh ke bola, “Bhaai Cox, Hum hamesha se puraana radio kaam ke baare me mangta hai zyaada seekhe. Kya aap uske baare mein mangta hai humme sikhaawe? Hamein maaf karna hum aaj raat isse deri tak nahi ruke sakta hai, lekin kya hum ek aur waqt sakta laut ke aawe?”

U thora deri hichkichais aur tab bolis haan. U la ek bahut accha dosti ke shuruat raha. Hum laut ke aaya aur u hamein sikhais. Hum uske prem aur sammaan kare ke shuru kar diya. Hum log ke dher dafa jaawe se, i admi ke mahaanta ubhar ge. Hum log bahut accha dost ban gaya, aur hum log ke patni log bhi accha dost bange. Tab, waqt ke saath, hum log ke parivaar dur chalaage. Sthaaniye neta log Cox parivaar ke paalan kare ke jari rakhis.¹⁰

U la milan ke baad lagbhag aath saal baad, Boston Stake banis raha.¹¹ Aap anumaan sakta lagaye ki kaun raha uski pehla stake pradhaan? Haan! Bhaai Cox! Kuch saal baad, u mishan pradhaan banke aur mandir pradhaan banke sewa dees.

Saalo baad, humme, Barah ke Koram ke sadasye hoe ke naate, Sanpete County, Utah me nawa stake banawe ke zimmedaari saupa ge. Aam taur ke bhent ke daoraan, hum khushi se ashcharye hoya fir se apan priye dost Bhaai Cox se mil ke! Hamein prabhawit mehsoos bhe uske naya stake ke petriak ke roop me niyukti karke. Hum jab uske niyukti kar diya, tab hum log ek dusre ke gale lag ke roya. Kamra me jon log raha sochta raha ki kaae i dui bada admi log rowe hai. Lekin hum log janta raha. Aur Bahan Cox janta raha. Hum log ke khushi ke aansu raha! Hum log khamoshi me u prem aur praschit ke safar ke yaad kara jon 30 saal pahale shuru bhe raha, ek raat u log ke ghar me.

U la hisaab waha nahi khatam bhe. Bhaai aur Bahen Cox ke parivaar badhis teen ladkan se, bees pota poti se, aur 54 par-pota poti se. U log ghera asar karis kayi sao mishanaris pe, hazaron zyaada pe mandir me, aur kayi sao pe jon kulpati ke ashirvaad lis Wilbur Cox ke haath se. Uske aur Leonora ke asar jaari rahi anye peedhi tak duniya bhar me.

Aisan anubhav jaisan Wilbur aur Leonora Cox ke sange bhe, har hapta hoye hai ummeed karta hai, har din hoye i girjaghar me. Prabhu Ishu Masih ke samarpit naukar Uske kaam ,Uske shakti aur adhikaari se chalaawe hai.

Bhaaiyon, darwaza hai jon hum log sakta khole, purohiti ke ashirvaad hai jon sakta dewe, dil hai jiske sakta ghao bhare,bhoj sakta kamti kare, gawahi sakta mazboot kare, jeevan sakta bachaaye, aur khushi sakta Antim-dinon ke Santon ke ghar me laye- ye sab kyunki hum log ke paas Parmeshwar ke purohiti hai. Hum woh log hai jon “ke niyukti mila hai aur taiyaar kiya gaya hai duniya ke shuruat se Parmeshwar ke gyaan se,[hum log] ke bhaari vishwaas ke kaaran se,” i kaam kare ke liye.¹²

I sanjha hum tum sab ke nimantran deta hai asliyat me hamar sange upar utho hum log ke mahaan anant bhaichaara me. Jab hum aapke purohiti office ke naam lega, kripya khada hoi jao aur khada hi raho. Deacons, kripya khada ho! Shikshak, khada ho! Purohit log! Bishop log! Elder log! High Priest log! Petriak log! Sattar log! Devduton log!

Ab, bhaaiyon, kya aap kripya karke khada hi rahega aur hum log ke koras me bhaag leke sab teen verse “Rise Up, O Men of God” ke gayega.¹³ Gaawe la taaim, socho ki aapke kartavya hai Parmeshwar ke balwaan sena ke madad kare ke duniya ke tayyaar kare me Prabhu ke Dobaara Aane ka. I hum log ke zimmedaari hai. I hum log ke vishesh subidha hai. Main gawahi deta hoon Ishu Masih ke naam se, amen.
