"The family proclamation helps us understand much
of the love the Savior referred to when He told us we must 'love one
another.' (John
13:34) He gave us the supreme example of love when He declared,
'Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for
his friends.' (John
15:13) He later atoned for all our sins and finally gave His
life for all of us.
"We can lay down our lives for those we love not by physically dying for them but rather by living for them—giving of our time; always being present in their lives; serving them; being courteous, affectionate, and showing true love for those of our family and to all men—as the Savior taught." - Claudio R. M. Costa, "Don't Leave for Tomorrow What You Can Do Today," General Conference, 7 October 2007

“I have
learned much from the scriptures about success. It is wonderful to
read about the journey of Lehi and his family to the promised land.
Of Lehi’s older sons, Nephi and Sam, through their faithfulness to
the Lord, charted their course for true success. For them, being
successful meant being faithful in following the Lord’s
commandments. Through their example the lives of millions of people
have been blessed to this date. And because of their obedience, many
people have followed the path of truth and righteousness, striving
to be worthy of the Spirit of the Lord in their lives.” - Claudio

"We are told that 'surely the Lord God will do
nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets'
(Amos 3:7). We learn from this scripture that the Lord will reveal to
His prophets absolutely anything that He feels is necessary to
communicate to us. He will reveal His will to us, and He will instruct
us through His prophets." - Claudio

The living prophet is receiving specific revelations for us. I can
remember many times when I have been present to hear one of the servants
of the Lord speak about a specific thing for a city or country. I
remember at least three of the living prophets, seers, and revelators
who have spoken about my country, Brazil. One of these servants said
that Brazil would become a great economy in the world and be free of
inflation. At the time, we had two-digit inflation every month. It was
difficult for many people to believe what the prophet said, but I
believed. Brazil has had about 5 percent inflation each year for many
consecutive years now. Brazil has become eighth in the world economy,
and the country is doing great! - Claudio R. M. Costa, "Obedience

I believe that starting a
tradition of telling the stories of Jesus to our children and
families is a very special way to keep the Sabbath day holy in our
homes. - Claudio R. M. Costa, “That
They Do Always Remember Him,” Ensign (CR) November 2015
