Though the word "sanctify" appears relatively infrequently in the scriptures, it is one of the most constant words that we hear in our Sabbath day observance (note that the Lord blessed and sanctified the Sabbath day). Forty-eight Sundays a year we hear — and sometimes to ourselves, say — the words "bless and sanctify this bread and this water." The sacrament, therefore, is sanctified in order to help sanctify us. This word, then, is at the heart of our Sabbath day worship.
