And when the disciples had done this, Jesus said unto them: Blessed are ye for this thing which ye have done, for this is fulfilling my commandments, and this doth witness unto the Father that ye are willing to do that which I have commanded you.
Through the sacrament of the Lord's Supper we make a commitment. We fully intend to keep the Lord's commandments. In that sincere moment, we don't want anything to deter us or distract us. Yet even in that moment, we know we will fail. Because we cannot carry out our commitment as we would like, we have to repeat the sacrament weekly. Starting over does not detract from our correct intention the previous week. It just means that we are still mortal and ever dependent on the Savior's atonement.
