“We mourn with those who mourn and pray for all those impacted by this senseless act of violence. My prayer and my blessing is that we will be guided, comforted and helped in our important work, and that victims, families and nations might be granted the peace that surpasses all understanding, the peace that comes from Jesus Christ.”
— Elder Bednar
Elder David A. Bednar, an Apostle of The Lord Jesus Christ, gave his presentation to the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., with a statement on the deaths from the recent and heartbreaking school shooting.
Elder Bednar spoke on Thursday, May 26, just days after returning from Guam. He just dedicated the church’s new Yigo Guam Temple on Sunday.
The event at the 114-year-old National Press Club, one block away from the White House, marked the first time a senior Latter-day Saint leader from the quorum of the twelve has addressed the group. President Gordon B. Hinckley at age 89, was the church’s president and prophet when he spoke at the National Press Club in March 2000.
The Washington D.C. Temple:
Elder David A. Bednar also invited all listeners to visit the open house of the Washington D.C. Temple which is 10 miles north of the National Press Club and a regional landmark. The open house ends on June 11 and is the first time the public has been able to see inside the temple in 48 years.
“We are the Church of Jesus Christ, reestablished or restored upon the earth in the latter days in preparation for the Second Coming of the Lord Jesus Christ,” Elder Bednar said. “We do all of these things because as His disciples we love Him and want to follow His example in our lives.”
