CES Devotional stands for
Church Educational System Devotional.
It is a worldwide broadcast, typically given a few times a year, by a General Authority or General Officer of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The target audience is young adults aged 18-30 (and also graduating high school seniors).
The purpose of CES Devotionals is to provide spiritual guidance, inspiration, and instruction on gospel principles and how they apply to the unique challenges and opportunities faced by young adults. The speakers address topics relevant to this age group, such as faith, relationships, education, careers, and service.
These devotionals are an important part of the Church Educational System's efforts to support the spiritual development of young adults around the world. They are usually delivered in English and translated into many other languages. They can be viewed live online or watched later on demand through the Church's website or other official channels.
