Partaking of the Sacrament

 "The acts of eating and drinking the bread and water do not remit sins. But as we prayerfully and sincerely prepare and worthily participate in the ordinance, we examine our actions and the desires of our hearts and embrace the Lord's invitation to repent (Moses 6:57). When we offer the sacrifice He requires --a broken heart and a contrite spirit (3 Nephi 9:20)-- we are promised that we may always have His spirit to be with us. And by the sanctifying power of the Holy Ghost as our constant companion, we [may] obtain and always retain a remission of our sins (Moroni 6:4).
