Before I Take the Sacrament (Children’s #73)
Scripture
Discussion
- Why do you think Jesus chose this way for us to remember Him?
- Is there anything you could do to make your experience more sacred and meaningful?
- Read the quote by Elder David B. Haight from his talk The Sacrament from April 1983:
- The weekly opportunity of partaking of the sacrament of the Lord’s Supper is one of the most sacred ordinances of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and is further indication of His love for all of us. Associated with the partaking of the sacrament are principles that are fundamental to man’s advancement and exaltation in the kingdom of God and the shaping of one’s spiritual character. We should reflect in our own weekday conduct the spiritual renewal and commitments made on Sunday. We may fail to recognize the deep spiritual significance this ordinance offers to each of us personally. Is it possible that a casual attitude on our part of routine formality of this sacred occasion might deaden our opportunity for spiritual growth?
