Hunger Strike in English PrisonsIn English prisons five people, imprisoned under new repressive laws targeted at pro-Palestinian activists, are on hunger strike. Several of them will have been on hunger strike now for over 50 days. At the weekend and each day since, protests have taken place across the island of Ireland and in Britain. Irish republicans have a natural affinity with those who use hunger strike in protest against inhumane prison conditions and to advance democratic aims. The use of hunger strike by political prisoners following the Rising and during the Tan and Civil Wars and in the North is well documented.Grace – just hold me in your arms …Next year the judicial review, taken by the Moore St. Preservation Trust, will be held in the Dublin High Court to challenge the Irish government's support for the plans of the developer - Hammerson – to demolish much of the historic 1916 Moore St. battlefield site.16 Moore St. is where the leaders of the 1916 Rising held their last meeting and where the decision to surrender was taken to prevent further civilian loss of life.Among those present was Joseph Plunkett who was centrally involved in the planning of the 1916 Rising. He was Director of Military Operations in the Irish Republican Brotherhood. He was also a member of that organisations Military Council. He was a signatory of the Proclamation and although heavily bandaged as a result of medical operations in early April, Plunkett spent Easter week in the GPO. A bleak Christmas for PalestiniansThe story of Christmas and the birth of Jesus in a stable, as Mary and Joseph sought shelter, is known by billions around the world – even by those of other faiths and none. Christmas will be celebrated – presents given – and many will go to their respective places of worship to remember the child born in poverty, surrounded by a loving family and animals.But for the people of Palestine, surviving in the occupied Palestinian Territories, this Christmas thousands of families will be separated from their loved ones, many of them children, held illegally in Israeli prisons. In the Gaza Strip families will mourn the 20,000 babies and children killed in Israel's genocidal war and the many more left with life changing injuries. Children will grieve for the parents who have been killed.

On this Christmas Eve, Fr. Robert McTeigue wants to share with you a special message, The Nativity of our Lord Jesus Christ from the Roman Martyrology.   Watch on YouTube: A Christmas Proclamation

What's up, dudes? It's Christmas Eve! Yes, today begins Christmastide. To celebrate, I've got Thom Crowe from ‘Tis the Podcast and Art Kilmer from A Cozy Christmas with to talk about the Octavo Kalendas Ianuarii. The Proclamation of the Nativity of Our Lord Jesus Christ is a traditional chant that summarizes salvation history.Originally a part of the office of Prime, the chant was effectively abolished with the reform of Vatican II. That all changed in 1980 when Pope John Paul II re-introduced it prior to the Nativity of The Lord: Mass During the Night. While not in its traditional placement, it still ushered in Christmas grandly. One could even argue, it brought the Proclamation to more prominence.The chant runs through salvation history, beginning from the creation of the world. Then, it catalogues major events of the Judeo-Christian faith: the creation of man, the great flood, the sacrifice of Abraham, the exodus from Egypt. After listing David and Daniel, it segues into secular history with the Olympiad and the reign of Caesar Augustus. It ends on a triumphant note with the actual birth of Christ.Reciting tones? Yep. Historical Cliff's Notes? Uh huh. Elevated pitch for the mention of Christ's birth? Only if everyone has to genuflect as well! So grab your missal, put on your cassock and surplice, and pray along to this episode on the Kalenda: The Proclamation of the Nativity of Our Lord Jesus Christ!'Tis the PodcastFB: @tisthepodcastBlueSky: @tisthepodcast.bsky.socialIG: @tisthepodcastFB Group: Tis the Podcast GroupA Cozy ChristmasFB: @cozychristmaspodcastIG: @cozychristmaspodcastBlueSky: @cozychristmas.bsky.socialGive us a buzz!

When "The Family: A Proclamation to the World" was issued in 1995, some called it a "duh document". Today, it is a subject of controversy, dismissed by some as outdated and praised by others as a powerful, prophetic anchor. This lesson breaks down the nine paragraphs of this crucial declaration, understanding why the family is central to the Creator's plan. The Plan of God: Marriage between a man and a woman is "ordained of God" and the family is "central to the Creator's plan for the eternal destiny of His children". The pre-mortal realm involved accepting God's plan to "obtain a physical body" and "gain earthly experience to progress toward perfection". Gender is Essential: Gender (male and female) is an "essential characteristic of individual premortal, mortal, and eternal identity and purpose". All human beings are "beloved spirit son[s] or daughter[s] of heavenly parents". Eternal Families: The divine plan of happiness enables "family relationships to be perpetuated beyond the grave" through "sacred ordinances and covenants available in holy temples". The Divine Design and Responsibility Parenthood & Chastity: God's first commandment to Adam and Eve to "multiply and replenish the earth remains in force". The sacred powers of "procreation are to be employed only between man and woman, lawfully wedded as husband and wife". We affirm the "sanctity of life". Mothers and Fathers: By divine design , fathers are to "preside over their families in love and righteousness and are responsible to provide the necessities of life and protection". Mothers are primarily responsible for the "nurture of their children". Both are obligated to help one another as "equal partners". Success Principles: "Happiness in family life is most likely to be achieved when founded upon the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ". Successful marriages are maintained on principles of "faith, prayer, repentance, forgiveness, respect, love, compassion, work, and wholesome recreational activities". The Warning and the Call: The Proclamation warns that the "disintegration of the family will bring upon individuals, communities, and nations the calamities foretold by ancient and modern prophets". It calls upon "responsible citizens and officers of government everywhere to promote those measures designed to maintain and strengthen the family as the fundamental unit of society". Call-to-Action: What is one way you can better live the principles of "equal partners" or "complete fidelity" this week? Share your commitment in the comments!

Defending the proclamation without contention

Strong marriages make strong families

Parenting in families

Happiness in Marriage by Autumn Dickson This week is all about The Family Proclamation. Here is the topic I want to cover. Happiness in family life is most likely to be achieved when founded upon the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ. I want to talk about happiness in marriage specifically, but the principles I speak about can be applied more broadly to any relationship you're going to be a part of. Marriages are falling apart in our day. Satan is coming after the family in a multi-pronged attack, but destroying marriages is just one part of how he chooses to do this. Social media loves showing off images of bright and shiny couples, individuals who seem so much happier alone, and advice about how your spouse should be acting towards you. We're taught that we deserve to be happy and if we're not happy, we should leave. We're taught that if a spouse can't meet our needs, we can't be happy. We're taught that it's better for the kids if we're happy. And yet, despite all of this teaching, the world can't seem to get it together and be happy. Oh the irony. I love my marriage. I'm so grateful to have Conner, and there are a lot of reasons for that. One of those reasons is not because Conner or I have been perfect. It's not because we agree on everything, or even agree on everything that's really important. It's not because we've never been mean to each other or because we've never had to navigate days at a time where we can't really figure out how to get past something. It's not because Conner is so intuitive at reading me or because I never complain. We are two different people with different baggage, different perspectives, different personalities, different ways of handling things. We are two people who experience times of drowning stress, resentment, uncertainty, and traumas. It can be easy to look at happy couples and assume that they have it easy, but that's not true. It's not true for anyone. There are relationships that hold more difficulty than others which is why I encourage everyone to seek the help of the Lord in knowing what to do. However, if you've married a generally decent person who doesn't scream at you, belittle you, act violently towards you, financially abuse you, then there is hope for happiness. And your best chance for happiness lies in following the teachings of Jesus Christ. Christ didn't focus on communication styles or on making sure you have everything in common ahead of entering a relationship. He didn't focus on love languages or living together ahead of time to see if you're compatible or any of the other stuff that the world tries pushing so hard. He doesn't even focus on making sure the other person knows how to take care of you in a relationship. He didn't focus on changing the other person so that you could be happy. The foremost characteristic of Christ's life was love, love for God and then love for others. Everything He did, the miracles and leading and teaching and forgiving and gratitude and serving all boiled down to that great love. If we want to be happy, we have to love the other person more fully. In order to find this happiness, you have to have a correct understanding of what that love looks like. Otherwise, you run the risk of building up more resentment rather than finding happiness. Love does not mean you're a doormat. It doesn't mean you never say anything or complain. It doesn't mean that you smile and stay silent when you're hurting. Love is not an outward action. It is an inward feeling that inspires different kinds of outward actions. Sometimes love does mean looking at the back of a person and choosing to smile even when they're doing something annoying again. Sometimes it does mean mercy and forgiveness and letting go when none of it was your fault. Sometimes it means accepting them exactly as they are and finding it within yourself to feel affectionate anyway. Other times, the most loving thing you can do is speak up. Sometimes the most loving thing you can do is tell someone they're wrong. The beautiful thing about it coming from a place of love is that the Spirit can help you know how to handle the situation in the best way available. Chastisement also hits differently when you can feel that the other person is actually more worried about you rather than worried about how you're making their life harder. Think of it in this way. When Conner comes to correct me sometimes (which we do often enough for each other), I get up in arms sometimes. My gut reaction is to insist that he doesn't understand what I'm going through, and criticism isn't helpful. Luckily, I have a husband who gets this, and he often continues the conversation calmly. He also dives in and tells how it would be better for me if I chose to make different decisions. It's extremely effective. He once told me that I needed to be more consistent in my discipline with one of our kids. I was so mad. It is so difficult to keep up sometimes, and it's hard to figure out the balance between disciplining your kids and letting it go because you're desperate or because you don't want them to feel like terrible kids. But he continued on calmly. He told me that I was actually making my own life harder by letting things go, that it would only take a couple of days of consistency and my kids would know I was serious. He was totally right but beyond that, he also did it with sincere love for me, and that made all the difference. Correcting me was a form of love; it was Christlike. Not to mention, it landed differently because it was about love for me. He wasn't correcting me because I was making his life more difficult. He was correcting me because he really wanted me to live better. I'm not going to pretend this isn't a hard point to reach. It is hard to love someone when you don't feel loved. It's hard to love someone when you feel like you're the only one who has been stepping up. It's hard to love someone when you're drowning in your own stress. It calls upon some of your deepest willpower and self-observation. I'm not talking about reaching down and hollowing yourself out and giving the last pieces of yourself. I'm not talking about resigning yourself to misery because you have to love them rather than begging them to change. I'm talking about letting go of your need to change them in order for you to find happiness. I'm talking about actively working on yourself, not to stop complaining or to stop nitpicking, but to actively and consciously choose to love them in the hardest moments. If you want to be happy in family life, you have to follow the teachings of Christ. One of the foremost characteristics of Christ, the characteristic that motivated everything else, was a sincere and deep love of everyone. Including those who wouldn't change or didn't deserve it. If you want to be happy, love freely. Happiness doesn't come from being loved perfectly; it comes from loving more perfectly. That is the truth. You have to change yourself to love the other person more freely. This goes for any kind of relationship. This doesn't mean you need to stay in every relationship, but loving the other person will help you heal faster even if that person was awful. It's counterintuitive but true. Truly loving someone frees you and heals you and brings happiness. Perhaps it seems too simple for your problem. Maybe you're insisting that I don't know your spouse and how hard it is. You're right. I don't. But I do know the power of changing to be like Christ. I do know that He was the most brilliant Man to ever walk the earth. I know that He knows what He was talking about. In any situation in your marriage (or any other relationship), trying to adopt love into your heart in the way that Christ loved will make the difference. I testify that happiness in any kind of relationship comes when we act like Christ. We find happiness. I testify that even if you can't find happiness directly in your relationship, there is a powerful happiness available in drawing closer to Christ. There is a powerful happiness that comes when you find it within yourself to love the other person and lean on Christ and His deep love when you need it.

Learning an growth

Have we not had a prophet among us? Part of the gift of a prophet, seer and revelator is to see what's coming. That's the see-er part of seer. On September 23, 1995, President Hinckley announced and read The Family—A Proclamation to the World to the women of the church in a General Relief Society meeting. It reaffirmed so many things that are precious to us. God's eternal plan is about families. The plan of salvation is a family story.  In fact, the pre-mortal world was a place where we were nurtured by Heavenly Parents who were invested with extraordinary love in our growth and progress. It is not surprising that connection and relationships would be our foremost joy in this life. Our eternal souls were raised in a place of connection. It is what we are made for. It is an eternal yearning inside of us. Our heaven is not a place of lonely individuals who play harps alone on clouds, but a place of families and communities united together in love. It is a people who have learned to love, even when loving seems difficult.

The True Definition of “Preside” by Autumn Dickson The Family Proclamation turned 30 this year. It is a document that teaches about God's plan for families. Though many believe it to be outdated, I testify of its ongoing relevance. Its principles hold truth that can protect and save. If everyone went home and tried to follow the principles within this document, society would evolve overnight. As I approach some of these principles in this post, it's important to note that The Family Proclamation is the ideal. None of us are going to reach the ideal on this side of the veil, but we still teach the ideal. Sometimes teaching the ideal has the undesirable side effect of making us feel discouraged. We cannot afford to let that take hold in our lives. Satan would love to take the ideal and twist it so that it crushes us, and we get to decide whether we let those feelings into our lives or whether we hold on to the hope that is Jesus Christ. So, like the Family Proclamation, I want to try and teach the ideal. Your circumstances may not allow the ideal. How you grew up may not have even afforded you a glimpse of the ideal, but consciously choose how you're going to look at this ideal. You can look at it and wonder if God doesn't love you because you don't have that ideal, you can feel hopeless about ever reaching that ideal, OR you can tell Satan to back off. God teaches the ideal so you can strive for it, but God also teaches the ideal because He's trying to give you a glimpse of His promises to you. He is saying, “This is what I want for you because I love you. This is what you were always meant to have. This IS what you will have if you hold on.” So let's talk about one of these truths with that understanding. One of the truths that is often mocked and twisted is regarding fathers. By divine design, fathers are to preside over their families in love and righteousness and are responsible to provide the necessities of life and protection for their families. There is a lot that we could dissect in that one sentence, but I'm going to pull out one of the first phrases. Fathers are to preside over their families in love and righteousness. “Preside” is the troublesome word in the eyes of the world. According to the dictionary, the word “preside” means to be in a position of authority so when we use this word, we often picture a home where the father gets the final say on any decision. Even when a husband loves his wife and listens to her honest opinion, it doesn't feel good to think that the man still gets the final say, and that's it. Is that really the end of the story? Even when he loves and listens to his wife, there are still moments where her perspectives go unheard because apparently it's divinely appointed. Then, there's the pressure that gets placed on the man for this kind of responsibility. No longer does he have a true partner to share life with. He carries it all because it ultimately falls on him. There have been a lot of things in the gospel and church that haven't always felt perfect or right when I've originally learned about them. I've learned that if I trust God and keep going, I've been led to answers from Him. It has been no different with this particular principle. If you keep reading in The Family Proclamation, you come across this line as well. In these sacred responsibilities, fathers and mothers are obligated to help one another as equal partners. This is our first hint that maybe we don't fully understand what we're reading. How can two people be equal partners if one person always gets the final say unless it's specifically “given” to the other partner? So which part am I reading wrong? Which part don't I understand? Is it the “equal” part or the “presiding” part? As I've pondered this particular question, I had a thought come to my mind. If I truly want to have the family that the Lord wants me to have, I have to ignore the world's meaning of the word “preside” and embrace what the Lord means by the word “preside.” This isn't just me trying to skirt my way around a difficult issue. It's not me doing mental gymnastics to try and make sense of it. Look at the Lord. The Lord presides differently than the rest of the world. He is the ultimate presiding officer and yet, we didn't see Him going around and making demands. We didn't see Him silencing good people and ignoring the opinions of others. He certainly wasn't disregarding the women in His life in the name of presiding officer. One of the foremost characteristics of Christ's life was His desire to serve. He devoted His life to securing what was best for everyone around Him. He was the ultimate presiding officer, and He was also the ultimate servant. Perhaps in the eyes of the Lord, presiding means the first person to step up and serve everyone around them. Presiding meant making decisions sometimes, but it also meant encouraging others to step up and lead. Presiding meant washing feet; it meant laying down His life, not putting His life above all others. Presiding, according to the Lord's interpretation, also means lifting everyone. The ultimate purpose of our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ are to bring about our immortality and eternal life. They want to lift us to where They are. It's not about controlling us and forcing us to do what they think is best. It's about meeting us where we're at and trying to lift us so that we can be as good and wise and loving and happy as They are. I hold no issue with this definition of my husband presiding in my home. I testify that the gospel holds up on closer inspection. Things that may seem troublesome or off can stand up to the light when we look at it with Christ. I testify that Heavenly Father has a plan for our families. I testify that His plan is based on serving each other and lifting each other, not ruling over each other. Autumn Dickson was born and raised in a small town in Texas.

But it is equally about God's plan of salvation.“Happiness in family life is most likely to be achieved when founded upon the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ.”Think of paragraphs 6 and 7 of the family proclamation as a pattern for “happiness in family life.” Families are important in Heavenly Father's plan.I am a “beloved spirit son or daughter of heavenly parents.”You're listening to Come Follow Me Kids!A Come Follow Me Podcast for Primary Kids of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.We are an interactive game play podcast for kids.

This song of Zechariah is a powerful proclamation of God's faithfulness, salvation and mercy. See Luke 1:57-79.

Sister Carol Costley continues to show how the Family Proclamation isn't a blueprint for the perfect family but a lifeline for real ones, where God works through rebellious children, humbled parents, and a covenant community that refuses to give up on each other.SHOW NOTES/TRANSCRIPTS English: https://tinyurl.com/podcastDC251EN French: https://tinyurl.com/podcastDC251FR German: https://tinyurl.com/podcastDC251DE Portuguese: https://tinyurl.com/podcastDC251PT Spanish: https://tinyurl.com/podcastDC251ESYOUTUBE: https://youtu.be/zPrCOcga_goALL EPISODES/SHOW NOTESfollowHIM website: https://www.followHIM.coNOW AVAILABLE INFrench  ⁨@followHIMFrançais⁩Spanish  ⁨@followHIMespañol⁩Portuguese  ⁨@followHIMPortuguês⁩  2021 Episode The Family: A Proclamation to the Worldhttps://youtu.be/f5sbMDT96jcFREE PDF DOWNLOADS OF followHIM QUOTE BOOKSNew Testament: https://tinyurl.com/PodcastNTBookOld Testament: https://tinyurl.com/PodcastOTBookBook of Mormon: https://tinyurl.com/PodcastBMBook  WEEKLY NEWSLETTER https://tinyurl.com/followHIMnewsletter  SOCIAL MEDIA Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/followHIMpodcast Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/followhimpodcastTIMECODE:00:00 Part 2 - Sister Carol Costley02:54 Family is the source of healing04:36 Gospel Library – Supporting Others06:12 Adoption, raising daughters, and a new calling10:34 Our stories are not totally written yet14:26 How family changes the world16:35 Elder Eyring's story about a difficult grandchild18:25 Alma the Younger was listening to family scripture study21:37 God asks for a willing heart22:57 Parental obligation27:16 Prayers and ward families30:12 Don't overlook repentance34:14 Peacemakers needed36:20 The value of work41:00 The plan is that we wouldn't be in ideal situations46:55 President Oak's story about his father's death48:14 Could President Oaks be the “dumbest boy in the room?”50:24 The Y Religion Podcast on the Proclamation51:01 Sister Carol Costley bears her testimony of Jesus Christ55:39 Testimony of tithing and the Restoration1:01:53  End of Part 2 - Sister Carol CostleyThanks to the followHIM team:Steve & Shannon Sorensen: Cofounder, Executive Producer, SponsorDavid & Verla Sorensen: SponsorsDr. Hank Smith: Co-hostJohn Bytheway: Co-hostDavid Perry: ProducerKyle Nelson: Marketing, SponsorLisa Spice: Client Relations, Editor, Show NotesWill Stoughton: Video EditorKrystal Roberts: Translation Team, English & French Transcripts, WebsiteAriel Cuadra: Spanish TranscriptsAmelia Kabwika: Portuguese TranscriptsHeather Barlow: Communications DirectorSydney Smith: Social Media, Graphic Design "Let Zion in Her Beauty Rise" by Marshall McDonaldhttps://www.marshallmcdonaldmusic.com

In this episode of Come Follow Church History, host Lynne Hilton Wilson welcomes special guest BYU Professor Jenet Erickson for a deep and inspiring discussion on The Family: A Proclamation to the World. Together, they explore the historical roots, doctrinal foundations, and continuing relevance of this landmark declaration from the First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. Dr. Wilson and Professor Erickson unpack the Proclamation's teachings on marriage, family roles, identity, and divine potential—values that stand as both a beacon and a counter-current in today's rapidly shifting cultural landscape. With warmth, scholarship, and faith, they examine why these traditional principles remain central to Latter-day Saint belief, how they connect to broader themes in Church history, and why they continue to offer clarity and hope in a world of competing philosophies. Whether you're studying the Proclamation for the first time or seeking deeper understanding, this conversation will enrich your appreciation of the eternal truths at its heart. Join us for an uplifting, thoughtful, and timely exploration of one of the Church's most influential modern documents. Visit us online: https://scripturecentral.org/archive/books

The scripture reading this morning was Luke 1:51-53. Rev. Laura Mayo gave the Proclamation.

Is the Family Proclamation a statement of policy? A document written by lawyers for the Church to use in amicus briefs against same-sex marriage? Did Pres. Hinckley commandeer the Relief Society meeting to present the Family Proclamation? Did the Relief Society Presidency feel excluded by not reviewing it in advance? Is it "just a matter of time" until the Church comes around and caves to social pressure to institute same-sex sealings?Matthew has written about these and other myths that have plagued Church members for too long. So has Angela. And now, so has Elder Ronald A. Rasband in his mic drop talk from this Conference.We're "bringing receipts" and laying down the truth: The Family Proclamation is revelatory and doctrinal.

As we look ahead to the 250th anniversary—the semiquincentennial—of the Declaration of Independence in 2026, communities and commissions across the United States are asking big questions: How should we commemorate this historic milestone?
What's the right balance between celebration and education? And how can this moment bring people together across political divides, generational gaps, and complex histories? To explore these questions, I've invited my friend, colleague, and Clio Digital Media co-founder Karin Wulf to guest host a special conversation with two people who are leading the way: Gregg Amore, Chair of the Rhode Island 250 Commission, and Carly Fiorina, Chair of the Virginia 250 Commission. Together, they reveal how their states are planning commemorative programs that center civic engagement, local storytelling, and inclusive history—and how the 250th can be more than a moment. It can be a spark.

In honor of Thanksgiving, Rochelle Porto takes us further back in history to the Pilgrims. We look at their overcoming nature, the cultural bridge that was built with them and the native Americans, and their authority given by the King for self rule. All of these things set a foundation that would come to define the American spirit, the eventual rift between the colonies and the United Kingdom and the roots of the Declaration of Independence. We close with readings of George Washington's Thanksgiving Proclamation of 1789 and Abraham Lincoln's Proclamation of Thanksgiving. #BardsFM_OurSacredHonor #ThePilgrams #Self-rule Bards Nation Health Store: www.bardsnationhealth.com EnviroKlenz Air Purification, promo code BARDS to save 10%:www.enviroklenz.com EMPShield protect your vehicles and home.
