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.
