Relief Society prepares women for the blessings of eternal life.
Relief Society helps prepare women for the blessings of eternal life as they:
- Increase faith in Jesus Christ and His Atonement
- Strengthen families and homes through ordinances and covenants
- Work in unity to help those in need
As Relief Society sisters participate in the work of salvation, we
become disciples of Jesus Christ. We strive to understand the doctrine
of the Atonement of Jesus Christ to increase our faith and our desire to
live righteously. We participate in priesthood ordinances and
cheerfully cleave to covenants made, which give us greater access to
priesthood power, and strengthen our families and homes. Working in
unity with priesthood brethren, we minister to and help those in need
with charity, the pure love of Christ. As we do these things, we become
“one” with the Father and the Son.
“It is our fervent prayer that each of us will open our hearts and
let the Lord engrave in them the doctrines of the Atonement, covenants,
and unity.”—Linda K. Burton
