The Influence of the Priesthood

"I testify of the refining, spiritual, comforting, strengthening, and
restraining influence the priesthood has had in my life. I have lived under
its spiritual influence all my life--in my grandfather's
home, in my father's home, and then in my own home. It is humbling to
use the transcending power and authority of the priesthood to empower
others and to heal and bless."

(James E. Faust, "A Royal Priesthood," Ensign, May 2006, 53)
