I would hope that we might go to the house of the Lord a little more frequently.... Most of our temples could be much busier than they are. In this noisy, bustling, competitive world, what a privilege it is to have a sacred house where we may experience the sanctifying influence of the Spirit of the Lord. The element of selfishness crowds in upon us constantly. We need to overcome it, and there is no better way than to go to the house of the Lord and there serve in a vicarious relationship in behalf of those who are beyond the veil of death.

President Gordon B. Hinckley, October 2004

" The Savior teaches that we will have tribulation in the world, but we should “be of good cheer” because He has “overcome the world." His Atonement reaches and is powerful enough not only to pay the price for sin but also to heal every mortal affliction."

Elder Dallin H. Oaks, October 2006

11 And he shall go forth, suffering pains and afflictions and temptations of every kind; and this that the word might be fulfilled which saith he will take upon him the pains and the sicknesses of his people.

12 And he will take upon him death, that he may loose the bands of death which bind his people; and he will take upon him their infirmities, that his bowels may be filled with mercy, according to the flesh, that he may know according to the flesh how to succor his people according to their infirmities.

Alma 7:11-12
