Being Mindful of the
Childless and Singles While Teaching The Family: A Proclamation to the World
Principles
M. Russell Ballard “Please do not think I am unmindful or
uncaring about the many married persons who have been denied the blessings of
parenthood through no fault of their own. I am also well aware of the
heart-wrenching sorrow of so many who walk the paths of life alone without a
faithful companion at their side. I testify to you, as a servant of God, that
no meaningful blessing related to marriage and family will be denied you in the
eternities if you will be strong, be loving, and stay faithful. Pray always. He
will hear and answer your prayers “in his own time, and in his own way, and
according to his own will” (D&C 88:68).[1]
Lorenzo Snow, “There is no Latter-day Saint who dies after having lived a faithful life who will lose anything because of having failed to do certain things when opportunities were not furnished him or her. In other words, if a young man or a young woman has no opportunity of getting married, and they live faithful lives up to the time of their death, they will have all the blessings, exaltation, and glory that any man or woman will have who had this opportunity and improved it. That is sure and positive”[2]
