Reading 5 - When he was
Church Commissioner of Education, Jeffrey R. Holland said: “Perhaps no anguish
of the human spirit matches the anguish of a mother or father who fears for the
soul of a child. … [But] parents can never give up hoping or caring or
believing. Surely they can never give up praying. At times prayer may be the
only course of action remaining—but it is the most powerful of them all”
(“Alma, Son of Alma,” Ensign, Mar. 1977, 80–81).
Reading 6 - Elder Orson F.
Whitney said: "You parents of the wilful and the wayward: Don't give them
up. Don't cast them off. They are not utterly lost. The shepherd will find his
sheep. They were his before they were yours--long before he entrusted them to
your care; and you cannot begin to love them as he loves them. They have but
strayed in ignorance from the Path of Right, and God is merciful to ignorance.
Only the fulness of knowledge brings the fulness of accountability. Our
Heavenly Father is far more merciful, infinitely more charitable, than even the
best of his servants, and the Everlasting gospel is mightier in power to save
than our narrow finite minds can comprehend." (CR, Apr 1929, p110)
