Domestic Reading Society

In case some of us need a reminder of how great we are, how great we can be, and how great we will be when we stand for what we believe.

"More than ever before we need women of faith, virtue, vision, and charity, as the Relief Society declaration proclaims (see Mary Ellen Smoot, “Rejoice, Daughters of Zion,” Liahona, January 2000, 112). 

We need women who can hear and who will respond to the voice of the Lord, women who at all costs will defend and protect the family. 

We don’t need women who want to be like men, sound like men, 

dress like men, drive like some men drive, or act like men. 

We do need women who rejoice in their womanhood and have a spiritual confirmation of their identity, their value, and their eternal destiny. 

Above all, we need women who will stand up for truth and righteousness 

and decry evil at every turn and simply say,

 “Lord, here am I, send me.”

          

Women of Righteousness, Elder M. Russell Ballard
