I love the sacrament. For those who do not know, it is an ordinance we of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints perform every week in remembrance of the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ and a renewal of the covenants we have made during baptism to take upon ourselves the name of Christ, obey the commandments, and serve the Lord.
It is a time to remember the sacrifice Christ made for us in the garden when He took upon Himself the spiritual pain and suffering of the world. It is a time to remember the physical suffering experienced on the cross for us.
Because of this, I love sacrament. I can remember the atonement throughout the week, I can read the scriptures and I can strive for the Spirit. But sacrament is a time set aside specifically for this purpose and for the renewal of my covenants and the Spirit dwells there. I feel that much closer to God during sacrament, feel that much more my insignificance and the many, many mercies and blessings He has bestowed upon me.
Sacrament is a huge part of my life. It is a precious time for me, a sacred time. I hope one day everyone may get the opportunity to experience the peace present in a sacrament meeting.
