“For the sacrament to be a spiritually cleansing experience each week, we need to
prepare ourselves before coming to sacrament meeting. We do
this by deliberately leaving behind our daily work and recreation and letting
go of worldly thoughts and concerns. As we do, we make room in our minds and
hearts for the Holy Ghost. …
“As we sing the sacrament hymn, participate in the sacrament
prayers, and partake of the emblems of His flesh and blood, we prayerfully seek forgiveness for our sins and shortcomings. We think about the promises we
made and kept during the previous week and make specific personal commitments
to follow the Savior during the coming week.”
Elder Robert D.
Hales of the
Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, “Coming to Ourselves: The Sacrament, the Temple,
and Sacrifice in Service,” Ensign,May 2012, 34.
