We live in a secular world,
an increasingly secular world. People have even described
it as post-Christian. I think we've got
a lot of wonderful, believing people out
there, but that's kind of the
environment we're in. That's kind of the
world we're in. More than ever,
more than ever, I cherish Sunday as a way
for all people, everyone, everywhere to get closer to God. We do that, first and foremost,
by taking the sacrament. Well, as the scriptures say,
we go to the house of the Lord. We go to worship and
offer up our oblations, and we take that sacrament. And we remember God. We remember the Savior. We remember the Atonement. We remember our blessings. We consider our day and our
week, and do we need to repent? Once we do it, I think--once
we take the Lord at His word and leave the world outside, and
we have more gospel-oriented, more spiritually-centered
experiences--I think that's when the conviction comes
to our soul that this really works. It really is a delight. I'm one for doing and
talking a lot more, teaching a lot more about the
long-term, rather constant preparation for the sacrament. Thus the response to
the sacramental prayer, that we'll remember Him always. I think we need to try
to remember Him always.
