241. The HOSPITAL analogy

"The church is not a monastery for the isolation of perfect people. It’s more like a hospital provided for those who wish to get well.” Jeffrey R Holland

“Though we may feel we are “like a broken vessel,” as the Psalmist says, we must remember, that vessel is in the hands of the divine Potter. Broken minds can be healed just the way broken bones and broken hearts are healed. While God is at work, making those repairs, the rest of us can help by being merciful, non-judge, mental, and kind.” Jeffrey R Holland 

Elder Ulisses Soares, October 2021, “The compassionate attitude of Jesus is rooted in charity, namely, in His pure and perfect love, which is the essence of His atoning sacrifice. Compassion is a fundamental characteristic of those who strive for sanctification, and this divine quality intertwines with other Christian traits such as mourning with those who mourn and having empathy, mercy, and kindness. The expression of compassion for others is, in fact, the essence of the gospel of Jesus Christ and a marked evidence of our spiritual and emotional closeness to the Savior.”
President Nelson, “One of the easiest ways to identify a true follower of Jesus Christ is how compassionately that person treats other people.”
