President Monson Honored for Legacy of Love, Service

Thousands of people gathered in the Conference Center on Temple Square in Salt Lake City on Friday, January 12, 2018, for the funeral of President Thomas S. Monson of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The man revered by Mormons as a prophet of God died in Salt Lake City January 2, 2018, at age 90 from causes incident to age. Tens of thousands around the world watched the funeral proceedings live in nearly 30 languages on LDS.org and other media channels, as well as on the Church satellite system.

“Our sorrow is assuaged by the Atonement of the Lord Jesus Christ. His bitter cup makes our bereavement bearable,” said President Russell M. Nelson, president of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. “President Monson never sought the limelight,” said President Nelson. “In a world now saturated with ‘selfies,’ he modeled selflessness. … He gave his own time to visit, bless, and love others. Even in his waning season, he continued to minister, making frequent visits to hospitals and senior centers.”

Beautiful to hear the bells of the Cathedral of the Madeleine peeling as the cortege passed. Very nice touch from the Catholic community of SLC.
