Elder Oaks reminds us how sacrament meeting is the most sacred and important meeting in the church. He starts out telling about how those of us trying to walk the straight and narrow path, see detours regularly. It’s easy to be distracted, degraded, downhearted or depressed. He goes on to tell us that the Spirit of the Lord can help us with these problems. He also gently reminds us that by participating in the ordinance of the sacrament correctly, we qualify to have the Spirit with us always.
Elder Oaks continues with five points.
- A reminder of how the sacrament meeting is the meeting for the whole family to participate in.
- Personal preparation for the sacrament.
- How we dress and act for the sacrament.
- A reminder of the importance of the sacrament.
- Advice for the priesthood holders that participate in the giving of the sacrament.
So, take a few minutes and read through this talk. It’s full of good advice and gentle reminders. It has given me a lot to think about as far as the way my family does things for that hour of church. My oldest is almost 8, and before I know it, he will be 12. I’m glad that I read through and discovered the things that he needs to know and do so that he can help with the passing of the sacrament.
Please, share your thoughts.
