*Today at church we sang Hymn 190, "In Memory of the Crucified." The last verse stayed in my mind: "Our Father, may this sacrament to every soul be sanctified who eats and drinks with pure intent, that in our Savior he'll abide." During the Sacrament I saw a young man drop a piece of bread, and he kind of sheepishly picked it up and ate it. I thought, "It doesn't matter-- if he has pure intent, it's sanctified." Then I realized I was not focused on my own intent and had to turn inward for a moment to center my thoughts on Christ and not on the others around me. I really want to abide in our Savior. My pure intent sometimes needs to be more intentional.
It was a delight.
