Quote/Principle

The sacrament is one of the most important things we do during the week.  Let us make sure we prepare ourselves.

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… The sacrament is one ordinance that allows us to experience a personal relationship to God and enlarges our knowledge and understanding of Him and His Only Begotten Son. Our personal reward for compliance with the covenants and obligations in the ordinance of the sacrament becomes the companionship of God’s Holy Spirit. This is the light that leads to eternal life. The divine virtues associated with the partaking of the Lord’s Supper are to keep His divine life ever in mind; to love the Lord with all our heart, might, mind, and strength; and to labor to bring to pass His ultimate purpose—the eternal life of man.

David B. Haight, Sacrament, April 1983, General Conference

Quote/Principle

The principle of keeping the Sabbath Day Holy has been emphasized in the past few years.  The leaders of our day find this principle of utmost importance, shouldn't we as well?

No law in all scripture has been more clearly defined than that of the Sabbath. … It is one of the laws most dear to the heart of God. Yet is noted far more in its desecration than in its acceptance and proper observance. We constantly talk about he worldliness of the present day ... What can we do to protect ourselves under these hazardous circumstances? How can we better help our young people to remain unspotted from the world? The Lord gives us the answer, and says that it can be done by sincerely observing the Sabbath day. ... The Lord does know what he is talking about. Sabbath observance will help us to more fully remain unspotted from the world. If we are serious about avoiding the contamination of worldliness, shall we not take his word at face value and believe it and practice it?

Mark E. Petersen; April 1975, General Conference
