Relief Society general presidency on the Savior’s relief

Relief Society General President Camille N. Johnson may be leading the world’s largest women’s organization, but her message is for everyone — not just Relief Society members.

“Jesus Christ is the source of relief for all of us, and as we make covenants with our Heavenly Father, through our Savior, Jesus Christ, we are entitled to priesthood power, all of us, men and women,” President Johnson said. 

After President Johnson and her counselors — Sister J. Anette Dennis and Sister Kristin M. Yee — began their service on Aug. 1, 2022, they brainstormed together, reflecting upon and seeking inspiration about what it meant to be a part of the Relief Society. 

“And the conclusion we drew is that members of the Relief Society bring their sisters — and their brothers also — to the Savior Jesus Christ, who is the source of all of our relief,” President Johnson explained on the Church News podcast.

“He’s the source of our relief from sin. He’s also the source of relief from the burden of mortality,” she said. “And it was from that brainstorming session that that thought started to take flight.”
