“Although the name may be of modern date, the institution is of ancient origin. We were told by our martyred prophet that the same organization existed in the church anciently.” Eliza R. Snow, Daughters of My Kingdom, Chapter 1 Heading.)

“This great circle of sisters will be a protection for each of you and for your families. The Relief Society might be likened to a refuge—the place of safety and protection—the sanctuary of ancient times. You will be safe within it. It encircles each sister like a protecting wall.” (Boyd K. Packer, Daughters in My Kingdom, Chapter 6 Heading.)

“The world's greatest champion of woman and womanhood is Jesus the Christ.” (James E. Talmage, Daughters of My Kingdom, pg. 3)

We pray that we will all be spiritually recharged and refreshed by the messages we will hear as we continue the great work and purposes of the Relief Society while serving in the Young Women’s auxiliary.
