Veni, veni Emmanuel!

Captivum solve Israel!

Qui gemit in exilio,

Privatus Dei Filio.

Gaude, gaude, Emmanuel

nascetur pro te, Israel.

“The Savior’s suffering in Gethsemane and His agony on the cross redeem us from sin by satisfying the demands that justice has upon us. He extends mercy and pardons those who repent. The Atonement also satisfies the debt justice owes to us by healing and compensating us for any suffering we innocently endure. ‘For behold, he suffereth the pains of all men, yea, the pains of every living creature, both men, women, and children, who belong to the family of Adam.’”

-D. Todd Christofferson

Elder Holland quietly singing the first verse of “Amazing Grace” as his closing testimony made me cry.

This moment I will never forget.

I don’t know how much longer we will have him with us—I know his health isn’t good. But his unwavering testimony of Jesus Christ is like a clear white light filling him up and radiating outwards.
