"Because of what we do in the temple, we gain strength to endure and prosper outside of the temple," said Elder Dale G. Renlund of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles at the dedication of the Davao Philippines Temple on Sunday, May 3, 2026. "We create greater power to resist temptation and to repent. We receive hope, comfort, and strength to withstand mortality’s trials better," he said.

"That which we experience in the temple increases our desire to submit our hearts and our wills to God, as His humble children," said President Henry B. Eyring, First Counselor in the First Presidency, at the dedication of the Lindon Utah Temple on Sunday, May 3, 2026. He added, "When we obey what we are taught in the temple with all our hearts, it makes possible our receiving the gift of peace."
