Theosis

We have been instructed that each one of us in our organizations is endowed with the germs of every faculty requisite to constitute a god or a goddess. These little ones in their mothers’ arms have the germs of all the capabilities which we exhibit, and what constitutes the difference between them and ourselves? Merely a lack of development in them, and this development requires cultivation, energy, and perseverance. The organization of the Female Relief Society places the sisters in positions to bring into exercise and thus develop all of our faculties: thus in doing good to others, we benefit ourselves… Let us try to realize our responsibilities and honor our position.
