For the past few years, the Church has sponsored worldwide efforts to share simple yet powerful messages about Jesus Christ during Easter and Christmas.
The videos and messages shared through social media, advertisements on buildings and vehicles, and at visitors’ centers typically reach tens of millions of people worldwide.
The messages and opportunities to participate have helped both members and non-members keep Christ as the focus of these religious holidays.
The Church launched its first Easter initiative in 2014 with a weeklong campaign titled “Because of Him.” This Easter, the Church is inviting the world to find the inner peace that comes from the life and teachings of the Savior Jesus Christ through its “Prince of Peace” initiative.
Appropriately timed to coincide with the week leading up to Easter, the purpose of the “Prince of Peace” initiative is threefold:
• Invite all to come unto Christ.
• Learn principles of peace from the Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6).
• Share ways to find peace through the Savior.
Invite all to come unto Christ.
Beginning March 31, visit the “Prince of Peace” website on Mormon.org to watch the 2:33-minute video illustrating the role of Jesus Christ as the “Prince of Peace,” then invite others to do the same. The video will be available in 33 languages, and the website is in 29 languages.
Learn principles of peace from the Prince of Peace.
During Holy Week — from Palm Sunday, April 9, to Easter Sunday, April 16 — learn more about nine principles of peace: faith, compassion, forgiveness, repentance, gratitude, God’s word, prayer, and hope. Each day, the website and social media sites will feature one principle with a video about an individual’s experience finding peace by living that principle.
Share ways to find peace through the Savior.
Watch for the videos and related content on the Church’s social media pages (Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Pinterest, and Instagram) or the Prince of Peace website in English and Spanish. Visit the website to see what others are doing to share the message. Then be sure to share personal efforts and experiences. Don’t forget include #PrinceofPeace.

121. Have you had your own Personal Gethsemane? I have had -- twice!

Image
I ran across this article this morning from a blog called:  LDS S.M.I.L E.  You  can also follow it at:    http://www.ldssmile.com   (Copy and paste)             It stands for LDS Spiritually Minded is Life Eternal. I have copied it as it was in their blog.  In my title, I mentioned I have had a Personal Gethsemane, not once, but two times, both quite different.  They are extremely personal, and I will not go into them here.  Only some family members know, and not even some of whom are my dearest friends.  Some deep problems are very personal, and some are known by many people, and perhaps are mentioned in the media!  They are as diverse as our lives are! But I do know the only thing that allowed me to keep my faith, courage, and personal self control to go on with normal life was our Savior, Jesus Christ, and the comfort I felt from prayer, and yes -- Personal Priesthood blessings. ...

993. Are We Ever Released from the Responsibilities of Parenting? By Julie de Azevedo Hanks · January 16, 2018, in Meridian Magazine

These are great thoughts, and very wise! Are We Ever Released from the Responsibilities of Parenting? By Julie de Azevedo Hanks  · January 16, 2018 We’ve heard phrases like “parenting is a calling from which you are never released [i] , [ii] ” over the pulpit many times, but rarely do we actually reflect on what this means. When taken literally, that it’s a parent’s job to continue to be their child’s caretaker throughout their lives, this belief can create enmeshed families with weak boundaries that undermine the adult child’s agency. Here are some ideas to consider about the danger of parents who are overly involved with their adult children and adult children who don’t fully transition into an adult role. Intrusive Parents   Too often, this belief of eternal parenthood is used to justify a parent giving constant (often unsolicited) input or criticism into an adult child’s life decisions. Does never being released from parenthood mea...
