What a remarkable thing it is that such power and authority is given to boys who are technically not yet--at least not the younger ones--even in their teens. There's nothing like it anywhere else in the world--this urgent invitation to every boy to come forward and, through youthful faithfulness, hold the keys of the ministering of angels, and of the gospel of repentance, and of baptism by immersion for the remission of sins. It overwhelms me just to say that again to you here today. (SINGING) In humility, our Savior, grant thy Spirit here, we pray, as we bless the bread and water in thy name this holy day. Let me not forget, O Savior . . . I know this Church is true. I know that these stories I read in seminary and in the Book of Mormon are true, and they happened. I know Thomas S. Monson is a true prophet. I know that Jesus Christ lives, and I have no doubt in my mind about it. I know that I am a child of God. Tonight, as I look at you young men and realize who you are and what you may become, I declare you have great expectations, not as the result of an unknown benefactor, but as the result of a known benefactor, even our Heavenly Father; and great things are expected of you. Like a clarion call comes the word of the Lord to you, to me, and to priesthood holders everywhere: "Wherefore now, let every man learn his duty, and to act in the office in which he is appointed in all diligence." May we each have the courage to do so I pray in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
