Submitting Names for Temple Ordinances. Saviors on Mount Zion.
E N D
Saviors on Mount Zion “What a privilege it is to be able to go to the temple, where we may experience the sanctifying influence of the Spirit of the Lord. Great service is given when we perform vicarious ordinances for those who have gone beyond the veil … and in that process we attain that which comes of no other effort: we literally become saviors on Mount Zion. As our Savior gave His life as a vicarious sacrifice for us, so we, in some small measure, do the same when we perform proxy work in the temple for those who have no means of moving forward unless something is done for them by those of us here on the earth.” President Thomas S. Monson “Until We Meet Again” Ensign, May 2009
What Qualifies Individuals for Temple Work: • Determine if the individual died before 8 years of age. • Ensure that temple ordinances are not already completed. • Individuals must be deceased for at least 1 year • Respect living family members wishes if they were born in the last 95 years. • A date and a place for a vital event (birth, marriage, death, burial, baptism, etc.). • If no death information was found, you must wait at least 110 years after the birth date.
A Great Work of Love “There is no greater blessing that you can have than to stand as a proxy in a great service to those who have gone beyond. “And it will be your privilege and your opportunity and your responsibility to live worthy to go to the temple of the Lord and be baptized in behalf of someone else.” President Gordon B. Hinckley “Inspirational Thoughts.” Ensign. Apr. 2002, 4 “The work so performed is both remarkable and singular. It is a great work of love …” President Gordon B. Hinckley. “Temples and Temple Work.” Ensign. Apr. 2002, 4
