Quotation from Elder Jeffrey R. Holland: “We ask you young men of the Aaronic Priesthood to prepare and bless and pass these emblems of the Savior’s sacrifice worthily and reverently. What a stunning privilege and sacred trust given at such a remarkably young age! I can think of no higher compliment heaven could pay you. We do love you. Live your best and look your best when you participate in the sacrament of the Lord’s Supper” (in Conference Report, Oct. 1995, p. 89; or Ensign, Nov. 1995, p. 68)
D&C 20:59: They are, however, to warn, expound, exhort, and teach, and invite all to come unto Christ. But neither teachers nor deacons have authority to baptize, administer the sacrament, or lay on hands; D&C 20:58 These are the duties of a deacon, which I will soon have to do.
D&C 20: 75: It is expedient that the church meet together often to partake of bread and wine in the remembrance of the Lord Jesus; A deacon passes the sacrament to the members of the ward.
I am looking forward to becoming a deacon in a few months. To be worthy to use the priesthood you need to attend church regularly, read the scriptures. Say your prayers, follow the commandments, and try to be like Jesus. And those are the same things we all should do.
