The imagery evoked by the phrase “a weary world rejoices” is what I imagine of the shepherds when the angel appears; of Mary and Joseph holding the baby Jesus after a long journey and labor in a stable; of Simeon and Anna in their old age when they recognized the baby Jesus at the temple in Jerusalem as their Messiah. Their weariness wasn’t absolved in those moments, but rather I imagine it coexisted with their joy.

All people are entitled to equal protection and due process under the law and to be free from arbitrary deprivation of their life, liberty, property, and privacy. Criminal justice and national security institutions must be designed in ways that preserve and uphold those rights for all people equally.

Around the world, poverty, conflict, and climate shocks are rising just as many governments are pulling back from international development spending. Into this widening gap step multilateral institutions like the World Bank and its concessional lending arm, the International Development Association (IDA).

Many experts say nationalism is on the rise around the world. But what is nationalism, and should we be concerned about it? In this resource guide, we have provided links to articles, documentaries, opinion pieces, and books that can help you better understand nationalism.

Unto us a child is born, unto us a Son is given, and the government shall be upon his shoulder, his name shall be called wonderful councilor, mighty God, the Everlasting, the Prince of peace.

What is your daily “light routine”? Let’s up the wattage so divine light can shine into the dark corners of our souls and on the problems of our world — to illuminate, to heal, to cleanse and purify.

If we wish to live in a peaceful society, we have an obligation to help create it. This includes refusing to discount or condone words that call for violent solutions to legitimate political disagreements, and speaking up for those who defend the rule of law. We will continue to call on our political leaders to operate within the bounds of the Constitution, and we resolve to support those who speak and act in its defense.

The demand for electricity in the United States is increasing — and with it, our responsibility to ensure that power comes from clean, sustainable sources. Every community depends on reliable energy for daily life, but as new technologies like AI data centers rapidly increase electricity use, we have the opportunity to power change in our communities and invest in renewable energy that protects our health, our economy, and our planet.

I need the Savior every hour, in joy and in pain. And He is there. His presence filled us with rejoicing and with comfort. He helped us to grieve and to celebrate.

The Federal Reserve, informally known as the Fed, is the central bank of the U.S. government and aims to be a transparent, nonpartisan, and accountable federal agency. Its purpose is to provide a secure money system for the nation and to support the economy.

Today, the people of Utah are getting what we voted for seven years ago — a fair map! This effort marks the culmination of efforts by countless citizens, and today, we see that when people come together across party and ideological lines, we can make change.

The United States military is considered the most powerful of all armed forces in the world and has long legitimized the nation’s standing as a global leader. Military members take an oath to “support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign or domestic.” The National Guard and military reserves respond locally to domestic emergencies, including natural disasters, and provide national security as needed.

As humans, bound to each other in every way, we are ... responsible to answer that plea for succor, especially for those in peril.

Misinformation and disinformation related to health care and public health pose an especially alarming threat. Individuals and families can respond by deprioritizing unqualified voices and instead seeking out nonpartisan, expert medical sources when making decisions about their health.

I read recently that the word used in the Greek Bible for compassion correlates to the gut. Translated, it describes a movement in the heart, the lungs, the liver, the kidneys. Thus, when Jesus is moved with compassion towards the multitude, it’s a bodily movement, welling up from the deepest parts of him.

The government has demonstrated a willingness to prioritize removal numbers over transparency and due process. Though officials argue these tactics as necessary for public safety, their consequences ripple far beyond immigrant communities.

When someone is invoking the Lord’s name or support, see if they are trying to be like Jesus, as the Primary song teaches: “Try to show kindness in all that you do. Be gentle and loving in deed and in thought.” 

We have watched with grave concern as the current administration increasingly exhibits coordinated enmity toward citizens, using dehumanizing language and even calling for violence against those who express opposition to its agenda.

The secretary of Labor plays a vital role in safeguarding the rights, dignity, and well-being of American workers. The secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) is the nation’s top health official, with a responsibility to advise the president in protecting and supporting families in times of crisis and in everyday life. And the secretary of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) manages HUD’s extensive programs and agencies while also advising the president on housing and community development.

We all have equal access to God, and it does not depend on your memory being perfect or complete or recent.
