What the Sacrament Can Do For Us

Some really thought provoking words from previous prophets and disciples of Christ.

Doctrine and Coventants 20:75

"Remembrance of the Lord Jesus"

...thoughts of Jesus...ought...to be far more frequent and much more constant in all times and season of our lives.
How much of a normal day, a working week, or a fleeting month is devoted to "Jesus, the very thought of thee?"
(Howard W. Hunter, Ensign, May 1993, p.64; or Conference Report, April 1993, p. 79)

"Partake of the bread and wine"
It is just as necessary, for our spiritual body, that we should partake of this sacrament, and by it obtain spiritual food for our souls. If we were given our physical food only on stated occasions and at specified places, we would all be on hand...
...The road to the sacrament table is the path of safety for Latter-Day Saints.
(Melvin J. Ballard, Crusader of Righteousness, p. 134. Italics added)
