Temple Worship Preparation For Temple Blessings - Quotes "The keys to eternity and the gladness of being part of a bit of heaven on earth are available to any person who becomes prepared for entry inside the sacred walls of the temple." Elaine Cannon "How far is Heaven? It is not very far; in the temples of God, it is right where you are." Thomas S. Monson "In the temple we participate in ordinances and covenants that span the distance between heaven and earth. They prepare us to one day return to God’s presence and enjoy the blessings of eternal families and eternal life." Ardeth Greene Kapp "The obligations which you assume in the ordinances of the Temple are all uplifting and for your own enrichment, and are not difficult to carry out. You may not comprehend the full meaning of all the ceremonies at first, but repeated visits will make them clearer and more enjoyable. Each time you go in the right spirit, you will have ‘light added unto light’ and your soul will be truly fed and uplifted." Elaine Cannon "Our labors in the temple cover us with a shield and a protection, both individually and as a people. The Lord will bless us as we attend to the sacred ordinance work of the temples. Blessings there will not be limited to our temple service. We will be blessed in all of our affairs. We will be eligible to have the Lord take an interest in our  affairs both spiritual and temporal." Boyd K. Packer
