As a mother of a young man, I am grateful for leaders of the Church who remind him of what an honor it is to hold the Aaronic priesthood. I’m grateful for doctrine that encourages young men to serve, be morally clean, to be a positive force in their family life, to have respect for womanhood, to look heavenward for guidance, to desire to live a good and responsible life, to prepare to be a righteous husband and father.
David L. Beck talks to young men in this video about the magnificent priesthood of God.
As a side note, I was interested to see the responses of young women to this video (see comments). The pattern in their messages was one of gratitude for young men who understand and value their priesthood duties and who take the ordinance of the sacrament seriously. It was also clear that young men and young women can strengthen each other when they live the standards and commandments of God. Young women value the priesthood and are influenced in a positive way when young men honor their priesthood duty to God.
