The Vision of Prophets regarding Relief Society:
Faith, Family, Relief
From the April 2012 Conference Talk by Julie B. Beck
Since the beginning of the Restoration, prophets have shared their vision of strong, faithful, purposeful women who understand their eternal value and purpose. When the Prophet Joseph Smith organized Relief Society he taught the sisters that they were to “relieve the poor” and “save souls”.
Relief Society is not a program. It is an official part of the Lord’s Church that is “divinely ordained of God” to teach, strengthen, and inspire sisters in their purpose regarding faith, family and relief. It is a way of life for Latter-day Saint women, and its influence extends far beyond a Sunday class or a social gathering.
President Spencer W Kimball said: “There are many sisters who are living in rags--spiritual rags. They are entitled to gorgeous robes, spiritual robes…It is your privilege to go into homes and exchange robes for rags”
