"If I have a wish for you, it is that you find peace in your actual life — not the life you think you would have if you were able to finish your to-do list, have three extra hours in a day, and finally achieve your goals. My wish is that you and I might slow down and turn more easily and comfortingly to Christ, and bask in His promised peace."
- Elder Patrick Kearon

The beautiful and sacred covenant relationship with God offers us blessings including promises that the Lord will make all things work together for our good, succor or provide relief to us in our infirmities, give us grace and strength to overcome our weaknesses, grant us peace not found in the world, heal our broken hearts, and give us joy.

God loves each of us equally. And, if we can see each other as Christ sees us, we can build a connection of trust, understanding, empathy, and love. This can create a sense of emotional connection regardless of our differences.
When this becomes hard to do, we must pray for this ability in our lives. We must pray to see the good in all people.

We are thankful for the reminder that through Jesus Christ, we can endure life’s storms and become more like Him as we patiently move forward with faith. 🌩💙
"Through Jesus Christ, because of Jesus Christ, and with Jesus Christ, we can endure through all the storms of mortality, patiently working toward the ultimate End: recognizing Him when He comes again because, through His grace, we have become like Him."

Every act of service, every word of encouragement, and every step forward adds to the light we share. Together, those small, consistent efforts create a lasting impact. 💡✨
"The greatest works of art do more than present something beautiful to observe. They invite us to see differently, feel differently, and ultimately become different. They do not replace language. They extend it, allowing us to experience aspects of life that often lie beyond the reach of explanation."

Physical sight may shape how we see the world, but spiritual sight shapes how we see the Savior. Thank you, Dr. Brooks, for your witness of Christ’s boundless love.🔦✨
"I clearly see my Savior in the center of my spiritual visual field. Could He one day restore my physical sight? Undoubtedly. [...] But even then, I should testify even more boldly of the greater way in which the works of God have been made manifest in my life, in the restoration of my spiritual vision.
I testify that He loves us with a depth and intensity for which there are no words." - Dr. Brooks

As a community centered on Christ, we are all responsible to improve how we love, include, and help heal each other.
I hope you will ask yourself: What am I doing, right now, to build a community of Christ at BYU?

"Artificial intelligence can process information, but it cannot replace divine light. It cannot love, it cannot discern the Spirit, and it cannot guide us the way the Savior can." - Arlene Sewell

"When we choose to have 'ears to hear' not only do we recognize Jesus Christ is the power that makes scriptural events transformative, but He can take the seemingly ordinary happenings in our lives and make them life changing." - Trevor Wilson

"My counsel to you is to listen to and follow the prophet, filter out the loud and confusing noise, and follow the Spirit. In this uniquely challenging time as we enter the artificial intelligence world, you would be wise to study the scriptures and follow the Lord’s prophet, and follow Jesus Christ." - Elder Quentin L. Cook
