The HolySacrament prayersof the Lord's Supper, often known as the sacrament, is a ritual in which participants partake of bread and drink water in commemoration of the body and blood of Jesus Christ. In most church congregations, the sacrament is given out every Sunday at the sacrament service. Followers of the Latter-day Saint faith believe that Jesus Christ told them to take part in the sacrament, and doing so shows that they are ready to remember Jesus Christ's sacrifice.
Asks God to bless and sanctify this bread for the souls of all who eat it, so that they may do so in remembrance of the body of the Son and bear witness to the Eternal Father that they are ready to take upon themselves the name of the Son.
Always remember him and keep his commandments that he has given them, so that they may always have his Spirit with them. This prayer is made in the name of the Son, Jesus Christ.
Ask God, the Eternal Father, to bless and sanctify this water for the souls of all who drink it, so that they may do so in remembrance of the blood of your Son that was shed for them. This will allow them to testify to you, O God, the Eternal Father, that they do always remember him and that they may have his Spirit to be with them. Amen.
The Eucharistic sacrifice and the sacraments are the focal points of the Catholic Church's liturgical activity. The Church recognizes seven sacraments: Baptism, Confirmation, Eucharist, Penance, Anointing of the Sick, Marriage, and Holy Orders.
The sacrament prayershave three main goals: to sanctify individuals, strengthen the church, and inspire worship of God. However, since they are signs, they also serve as a means of instruction. They are called "sacraments of faith" because they are based on faith and feed, strengthen, and show it through words and things. The sacraments give grace, but they also give the faithful the right attitude to accept that gift in a good way, worship God the right way, and do good things for others. The cleansing and sanctifying sacrament of rebirth is baptism, which is both the first and most important sacrament and the gateway to the other sacraments. It is the process through which those who receive it are united sacra mentally with the church.
Confirmation strengthens the baptized with the Holy Spirit by a sign with the gift of the Spirit, tying them more closely to the Church and strengthening them in their witness to Christ in speech and action, as well as in their work to complete the Body of Christ. The laying on of hands and chrism-anointing are used to impart confirmation.
The most revered sacrament is the Eucharist, through which the Church continually lives and develops and in which Christ himself is contained, presented, and received. The Eucharistic Sacrifice commemorates death.
The resurrection of the Lord and continuing the cross's sacrifice throughout the ages is the pinnacle and source of all Christian lifeand worship; it signifies and brings about the unity of God's people and accomplishes the growth of the Body of Christ. Those with the required priestly authority administer the sacrament.
The verse in 3 Nephi 18 where the resurrected Christ explains the ordinance of the sacrament to the Nephites is the most direct source for the sacrament prayers. After the multitude have eaten the bread that he had blessed, he instructs them that “this shall ye do in remembrance of my body, which I have shown unto you. And it shall be a testimony unto the Father that ye do always remember me. And if ye do always remember me ye shall have my Spirit to be with you.” (See 18:7.)
A religious rite or ceremony, such as a Christian sacrament
In accordance with the sacrament prayers, a person commits to continually remembering Jesus, taking His name upon them, and observing His commandments while eating and drinking in commemoration of His flesh and blood. The prayer promises that, in exchange, the participant will always receive the presence of the Spirit.
