Monday

• Commentary: “Foolish Stories Were Published”
• Scripture: Doctrine and Covenants 45:1-10
• Commentary: Commentary on D&C 45:1-5
• Commentary: Commentary on D&C 45:6–10
• Quote: "The core of the gospel that the Church teaches is that Jesus Christ bore 'our griefs, and carried our sorrows.' He had 'laid on him the iniquity of us all.' He 'endured the cross,' broke 'the bands of death,' 'ascended into heaven, and … sat down on the right hand of God, to claim of the Father his rights of mercy.' The Savior did all this because He loves His Father and He loves us. He has already paid the infinite price so He can '[claim] all those who have faith in him [and advocate]' for them—for us. Jesus Christ wants nothing more than for us to repent and come unto Him so that He can justify and sanctify us. In this desire, He is relentless and unwavering."
  - Dale G. Renlund, “This Is My Gospel”—“This Is My Church” October 2024 General Conference
• Quote: "We live in these days of the Lord’s 'marvellous work and a wonder' We have been blessed to bring the gospel to our families and our posterity and to assist in preparing for the Second Coming of the Savior. The Lord described the purposes of the Restoration 'to be a light to the world, … to be a standard for [us, His] people, … and to be a messenger before [His] face to prepare the way before [Him]' Our responsibility is not trivial; it is not by chance that we are who we are; the keeping of our covenants in these days of destiny will be a badge of honor throughout all the eternities."
  - Neil L. Andersen, "Come unto Him" April 2007 General Conference

Tuesday

• Commentary: D&C 45: Historical Context
• Scripture: Doctrine and Covenants 45:11-21
• Commentary: Commentary on D&C 45:11–15
• Commentary: Commentary on D&C 45:16–17
• Commentary: Commentary on D&C 45:18–23
• Quote: “Instructed by further revelation, Joseph Smith taught, ‘If men do not comprehend the character of God, they do not comprehend themselves’. Likewise, brothers and sisters, if we do not comprehend God’s purposes, we will not comprehend the purposes of life! In God’s plan of salvation, He does nothing save it be for the benefit of His children in the world; man is at the center of His purposes. Likewise restored were doctrines, ordinances, and covenants associated with the holy temple. Revelation thus replaced the long and inordinate reliance on reason. Yet, regarding reason, the invitation of the Lord of the Restoration is ‘Wherefore, hearken and I will reason with you’. Such hearkening enhances and stretches the mind, admitting one to the sun-drenched uplands of revealed understanding. ‘Come now, and let us reason together’ is an invitation to divine tutoring, but only the meek are wise enough to accept it.”
  - Neal A. Maxwell, "From the Beginning," October 1993 General Conference

Wednesday

• Scripture: Doctrine and Covenants 45:22-33
• Commentary: Section 45: Context
• Commentary: Commentary on D&C 45:24–38
• Quote: “Much adversity is man-made. Men’s hearts turn cold, and the spirit of Satan controls their actions. In foreseeing the day of suffering in our time, the Savior said, ‘The love of men shall wax cold, and iniquity shall abound’. Violence, immorality, and other evils run rampant on the earth. Much adversity has its origin in the principle of agency.”
  - M. Russell Ballard, "Answers to Life's Questions," April 1995 General Conference
• Quote: “In March of 1831, less than a year after the organization of the Church, the Prophet Joseph Smith received from the Lord a comforting and encouraging assurance confirmatory of the predictions which had been made centuries before, which reads as follows: ‘And when the times of the Gentiles is come in, a light shall break forth among them that sit in darkness, and it shall be the fulness of my gospel’. That light, my brethren and sisters and friends, has come to the world. It is the light of revelation, and through revelation has come the true interpretation of the Christ, his mission, and his gospel. All men of all nations embraced within the family of the Eternal Father are entitled by his decree to receive the light and to receive an understanding of the true, revealed order of the kingdom of God. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, established under the direction of the Father and the Son, is the custodian of the revealed principles of the restored gospel and the authority to administer its ordinances under divine commission. I am aware that by many this will be regarded as an extreme and presumptuous statement. We make it only because we are constrained by the revelations so to do. I assure you it would be much easier to attempt to win a reputation for tolerance by modifying and ameliorating our position. If we did so, we and our message would be of little value to our brothers and sisters in the world, and we should be untrue to our commission.”
  - Stephen L. Richards, "Hunger for Religion," October 1958 General Conference
• Quote: “The Lord has given you another way to stand firm, a spiritual gift more powerful than the whirlwinds of the adversary! He said, ‘Stand … in holy places, and be not moved.’ When I was a teenager, there were only 13 temples in the Church. Now there are 142. Eighty-five percent of Church members live within 200 miles (320 km) of a temple. The Lord has given your generation greater access to His holy temples than any other generation in the history of the world. Have you ever stood in the temple, dressed in white, waiting to do baptisms? How did you feel? There is a tangible feeling of holiness in the temple. The peace of the Savior subdues the swirling whirlwinds of the world. The way you feel in the temple is a pattern for how you want to feel in your life.”
