If the history of the Day of Atonement has anything to say to us now it is: never relieve individuals of moral responsibility. The more we have, the more we grow.

The beginning of atonement is the sense of its necessity.

We have the duty to protect the life of an unborn child.

We don't naturally want to take responsibility for our lives. We want to give the responsibility to someone else. We blame them when our lives aren't good.

Many of the lessons we are to learn in mortality can only be received through the things we experience and sometimes suffer. And God expects and trusts us to face temporary mortal adversity with His help so we can learn what we need to learn and ultimately become what we are to become in eternity.

We are accountable for our actions as we exercise our moral agency. If we understand this principle and make righteous choices, our lives will be blessed.

It is not only for what we do that we are held responsible, but also for what we do not do.

To keep the body in good health is a duty... otherwise we shall not be able to keep our mind strong and clear.

We are God's creation, and we have a responsibility to keep ourselves at our best.
