Blessings of the Temple

"As we enter through the doors of the temple, we leave behind us the distractions and confusion of the world.  Inside this sacred sanctuary, we find beauty and order.  There is rest for our souls and a respite from the cares of our lives.  

As we attend the temple, there can come to us a dimension of spirituality and a feeling of peace which will transcend any other feelings which could come into the human heart. 

In our lives we will have temptations; we will have trials and challenges.  As we go to the temple, as we remember the covenants we make there, we will be better able to overcome those temptations and to bear our trials.  In the temple we can find peace.

The blessings of the temple are priceless.  

May our Heavenly Father bless us that we may have the spirit of temple worship, that we may be obedient to His commandments, and that we may follow carefully the steps of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ." 

President Thomas S. Monson
