“As this Christmas approaches, let us do more of what matters and much less of what doesn’t. Let us seek to do the works of Jesus of Nazareth — lift up the sorrowing, heal the brokenhearted, visit the prisoners, feed the hungry, clothe the naked and give voice to the voiceless, the marginalized, the forgotten and the despised.” - Elder Patrick Kearon (First Presidency’s Christmas Devotional, Dec. 8, 2019)
