The manner of their elders and priests
administering the flesh and
blood of Christ unto the church;
and they administered it according to
the commandments of Christ;
wherefore we know the manner to be true;
and the elder or priest did minister it—
And they did kneel down
with the church, and pray
to the Father in the name of Christ,
saying:
O God, the Eternal Father, we ask thee
in the name of thy Son, Jesus Christ,
to bless and sanctify this bread
to the souls of all those who partake of it;
that they may eat
in remembrance of the body of thy Son,
and witness unto thee,
O God, the Eternal Father,
that they are willing to take upon them
the name of thy Son,
and always remember him,
and keep his commandments
which he hath given them,
that they may always
have his Spirit to be with them.
Amen.
