This is a WONDERFUL quote, I am definitely sharing it with my oldest daughter; she has been struggling with understanding why women do not receive the Priesthood.
You [sisters] belong to the great sorority of Saviorhood. You may not hold the priesthood. Men are different, men have to have something given to them to make the saviors of men, but not mothers, not women. You are born with an inherent right, an inherent authority, to be the saviors of human souls. You are co-creators with God of his children. Therefore, it is expected of you by a right divine that you will be the saviors and the regenerating force in the lives of God's children here upon the earth. --Elder Matthew Cowley
