Lesson overview   

The Significance of the Sacrament.

   by Janet Nastasi 

Question to ponder " What did Jesus  do for me?" 

Joseph Fielding Smith Said, 

" In my judgement the sacrament meeting is the most sacred, the most holy, 

of all the meeting of the Church. When I reflect upon the gathering of the Savior and his apostles on that memorable night when he introduced the sacrament; when I think

of that solemn occasion my heart is filled with wonderment and my feelings are touched. I consider that gathering one of the most solemn and wonderful sinse the beginning of time. 

What do you think about or do during the Sacrament?

• our baptismal covenants
• our temple covenants 
• read Sacrament hymns
• pray to better yourselves in the upcoming week
• remind ourselves that because of the Sacrament we can have hope and not dread our mistakes.

Sacrament meeting is the one meeting that we are commanded to attended. 

Is it possible to be perfect enough to not add more to the burden that Christ bore? 

• No , but we should always strive to.
• The Atonement is also for the relief of grief or pain etc. Who hasn't experienced pain or grief?
• The Atonement is an amazing healing tool that was designed to share our burden and that it's okay to have peace and comfort during hard times. 

Blessings of the Atonement

• During times of struggle it's easy to always look within yourself and focus only on ourselves...
•  when we know that Christ shares our burden, it's easy to focus our attention away from ourselves and onto our family and friends, etc.
• gratitude for small blessings around us
• clarity in knowing that there is so much waiting for us in the life hereafter. 

LETS TURN OUR THOUGHTS TO THE SAVIOR AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE DURING SACRAMENT .

" O God, the Eternal Father, we ask thee in the name of thy Son, Jesus Christ, to bless and sanctify this bread to the souls of all those who partake of it, that they may eat in remembrance of the body of thy Son, and witness unto thee, O God the Eternal Father, that they are willing to take upon them the name of thy Son, and always remember him and keep his commandments which he has given them; that they may always have his Spirit to be with them. 

Amen."

"O God, the Eternal Father, we ask thee in the name of thy Son, Jesus Christ, to bless and sanctify this wine to the souls of all those who drink of it, that they may do it in remembrance of the blood of thy Son, which was shed for them, that they may witness unto thee, O God, the Eternal Father, that they do always remember him, that they may have his Spirit with them. Amen."
