Personal Worthiness to Exercise the Priesthood
President Gordon B. Hinckley
President of the Church
Priesthood power depends on personal worthiness; men must be morally clean, kind to wives, protective of children, and respectful of the elderly.
“Personal worthiness becomes the standard of eligibility”
“we can and must be decent, honorable men”
“Ask for the forgiveness of your wife and your children.”
“Safeguard it, cherish it, love it, live worthy of it.”
