I love the sacrament prayers; there is so much meaning and symbolism in them.
Teaching the YW (and myself) how to memorize the Sacrament Prayer (Personal Progress check off):
I think the difference and similarities are fascinating between the two prayers.
It is asked that Christ would BLESS and SANCTIFY the bread.
Sanctify- 1. In a general sense, to cleanse, purify or make holy. 2. To separate, set apart or appoint to a holy, sacred or religious use.
Then we are asked to partake of it and remember our Saviors Body and the sacrifice He has made for each of us.
We promise; 1. take upon us the name of Jesus Christ, 2. always remember him and to 3/ keep His commandments.
We are promised: that we will "always have hisSpiriti to be with" us. Moroni 4:3
"...remember the word of God which saith by their works ye shall know them;"
We need to live righteous lives and do as our Father in Heaven and Savior direct us to do.
Elder Perry sacrament:
That which is good cometh of God and that which is evil cometh of the devil. We must learn to recognize the difference in our lives and how our Father in Heaven speaks to each of us.
"... it is given unto you to judge, that ye many know good from evil;" -2 Nephi 2, 
We were all given the light of Christ when we came to earth in order to know good from evil then we can live righteous to receive the gift of the Holy Ghost and have more influence for good and help to return to live with our Father in Heaven.
"ye may know with a perfect knowledge it is of God." because of the spirit which is with you. Moroni 7:16
Blessing: I have been blessed with the opportunity and privilege to go to church and partake of the sacrament each week, as well as have a small understanding of the importance of it.

Heber J. Grant said "I have heard men and women say that they were going to let their sons and daughters grow to maturity before they sought to teach them the principles of the gospel, that they were not going to cram the gospel down them in their childhood, before they were able to comprehend it. When I hear men and women say this, I think they are lacking faith in the principles of the gospel and do not comprehend it as they should. The Lord has said it is our duty to teach our children in their youth, and I prefer to take His word for it rather than the words of those who are not obeying His commandments.. I may know that the gospel is true, and so may my wife; but I want to tell you that your children will not know that the gospel is true, unless they study it and gain a testimony for themselves. Parents are deceiving themselves in imagining that their children will be born with a knowledge of the gospel." (Richard O. Cowan, The Church in the Twentieth Century, p. 319)*...

Gordon B. Hinckley said, "We all do a lot of studying, but most of us don't do much meditation. We don't take time to think. I'd like to suggest that next fast day . . . everybody in this hall set aside an hour or two. Sit by yourself. Go in the bedroom and lock the door. Go out in the yard under a tree. Go in your study if you have one and shut the door, and think about yourself and your worthiness. Read from this great book [Book of Mormon]...There's a great word that's used, 'ponder.' "'Ponder.' What do we mean by 'ponder'? Well, I think it simply means kind of quietly thinking things through. Ponder what you have read. Ponder your life. Are you worthy, are you living the commandments...?" (Church News, 01/06/96) -Christ commanded them to; 1. " ponder upon the things which I have said, 2. ask the Father, in my name, that ye many understand, 3. prepare your minds for the morrow ," (3 Nephi 17:3) -The thing...
