“Blessed Are All They That Mourn”

Ed J. Pinegar, Richard J. Allen

How happy are those who mourn and are comforted. Whether it be godly sorrow unto repentance (see 2 Corinthians 7:10) or the sorrow for others, the Lord will comfort us in peace. “We are here to help lift the eyes of those who mourn from the valley of despair to the light upon the mountain peaks of hope, to endeavor to answer questions about war, to bring peace to troubled souls, not as the world giveth, but only that which comes from the Prince of Peace. We are here to lift all of us out of the shadows into life and light” (Harold B. Lee, Ye Are the Light of the World: Selected Sermons and Writings of Harold B. Lee [Salt Lake City: Deseret Book, 1974], 251).
