“Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, through the incalculable gift of His Atonement, not only saves us from death and offers us, through repentance, forgiveness for our sins, but He also stands ready to save us from the sorrows and pains of our wounded souls.

“The Savior is our Good Samaritan, sent ‘to heal the brokenhearted’ [Luke 4:18]. He comes to us when others pass us by. With compassion, He places His healing balm on our wounds and binds them up. He carries us. He cares for us. He bids us, ‘Come unto me … and I shall heal [you]’ [3 Nephi 18:32].”

Elder Neil L. Andersen of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, “Wounded,” 85.
