"Proper preparation to take the sacrament includes repenting, desiring to follow the Savior, and having a "broken heart and a contrite spirit" (3 Nephi 9:20). Taking the sacrament is a weekly opportunity for introspection and rededication. Reverence and prayer enhance the experience. Individuals who have committed serious sins should not take the sacrament until they have repented, including confessing to their bishop or branch president (see 3 Nephi 18:28-30).
Dallin H. Oaks, "Sacrament Meeting and the Sacrament," Ensign, Nov. 2008, 17.
