“The symbolism of the sacrament of the Lord’s Supper is
beautiful to contemplate. The bread and water represent the flesh and blood of
Him who is the Bread of Life and the Living Water, poignantly reminding us of
the price He paid to redeem us. As the bread is broken, we remember the
Savior’s torn flesh. Elder Dallin H. Oaks once observed that ‘because it is
broken and torn, each piece of bread is unique, just as the individuals who
partake of it are unique. We all have different needs to be strengthened
through the Atonement of the Lord Jesus Christ.’ As we drink the water, we
think of the blood He shed and on the cross and its sanctifying power. Knowing
no unclean thing can enter into his kingdom, we resolve to be among those who
have washed their garments in the Savior’s blood, because of their faith, and
the repentance of their sins, and their faithfulness unto the end.” - Elder D.
