Sunday Review {Duties of the Priesthood}

This past Sunday, Cara taught us about the duties of the Priesthood. She referenced Elder Ballard's Talk "This is My Work and My Glory" from this past General Conference. Below is a quote from Elder Ballard and the link to the entire talk. It only takes about 5 minutes to read the full text, if you have those minutes to spare, reading the talk is a great way to spend them.

"...the power by which the heavens and earth were and are created is the priesthood. Those of us who are members of the Church know that the source of this priesthood power is God Almighty and His Son, Jesus Christ. Not only is the priesthood the power by which the heavens and the earth were created, but it is also the power the Savior used in His mortal ministry to perform miracles, to bless and heal the sick, to bring the dead to life, and, as our Father’s Only Begotten Son, to endure the unbearable pain of Gethsemane and Calvary—thus fulfilling the laws of justice with mercy and providing an infinite Atonement and overcoming physical death through the Resurrection."
