Young Men, you will learn, if you have not already, that in frightening, even perilous moments, your faith and your priesthood will demand the very best of you and the best you can call down from heaven...You Aaranic Priesthood boys will not use your priesthood in exactly the same way an ordained elder uses the Melchizedek, but all priesthood bearers must be instruments in the hand of God, and to be so, you must, as Joshua said, "sanctify yourselves." You must be ready and worthy to act. That is why the Lord repeatedly says in the scriptures, "Be ye clean, that bear the vessels of the Lord."
Jeffry R. Holland, Sanctify Yourselves, November Ensign, 2000.
