"I pray that as the priesthood of God, we may, each of us may do all the things that lie within our power to teach our youth what source they may look to for a remission of their sins, even the Lord Jesus Christ. May we each respond with our most sincere efforts to 'All hands on deck' as it pertains to saving our own rising generation — they are certainly worth our very best efforts.
"We must all look for opportunities to bless the youth whether or not we are currently, closely associated with them. We must continue to teach and fortify fathers and mothers in their divinely declared roles with their children in the home. We must ask ourselves constantly if that extra sporting event, that extra activity, or errand outside the home is more important than families being together at home.
"Now is the time when in every action we take, in every place we go, with every Latter-day Saint young person we meet, to have an increased awareness of the need for strengthening, nurturing and being an influence for good in their lives.
"Figuratively speaking, brethren, are the doors of our homes pitched toward the temples we so love? Do we attend as often as we can, showing our children through our example the importance of these sacred and special places?"
