Tonight I was privileged to speak at the anniversary celebration of the 1978 revelation on the priesthood. I still remember the thrill I experienced as I learned that all worthy males were at last able to receive the priesthood. I wept for joy.
What a joy it was to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the revelation on the priesthood tonight.
It is my prayer that we may overcome any burdens of prejudice and walk uprightly with God—and with one another—in perfect peace and harmony.
“I know those things by the only way any of us can know them. The Holy Ghost has spoken to my mind and heart that they are true—not just once but often.”

“I pray we will be able to say:
We listened to him.
We believed him.
We studied his words with patience and faith.
We prayed for him.
We stood by him.
We were humble enough to follow him.
We loved him.”
