Franken Posted August 20, 2004 Report Posted August 20, 2004 Hey, I was just curious as to what all the requirements are to recieve your patriartichal blessing... I've got this friend who doesn't go to church to often, but I was thinking that maybe if she got her patriartichal blessing, she might have a renewed interest in the church, like a desire of her own to actually go instead of her parents forcing her, which has only brought resentment. She told me about two years she had wanted to get her patriartical blessing, dunno about now though. Quote
Faerie Posted August 23, 2004 Report Posted August 23, 2004 receiving your pat. blessing to renew interest in the church is a bad, bad idea... it's best to be personally worthy and spiritually ready...any further "requirements" are best answered by your stake patriarch... Quote
Mahonri Posted August 28, 2004 Report Posted August 28, 2004 I don't know many Bishops who would give someone a recommend to recieve a patriarchal blessing who was not spiritually ready to receive it. Your friend needs to understand what a PB is and how it can be a great source of comfort in their life. It doesn't sound like she has the right attitude at present. Not a good idea in my opinionl.

Jenda Posted August 28, 2004 Report Posted August 28, 2004 You have to have a recommend to have a patriarchal blessing??? Quote
Mahonri Posted August 29, 2004 Report Posted August 29, 2004 Jenda, Are you a member of The Church? Yes, you must have a recommend from a Bishop to receive a patriarchal blessing. Mahonri Quote
Jenda Posted August 29, 2004 Report Posted August 29, 2004 No, I am not a member of the COJCOLDS. I am a member of the other "The Church". We don't need recommends to get our patriarchal blessings, and it was just a surprise, that's all. Quote
Franken Posted August 29, 2004 Author Report Posted August 29, 2004 Alright, thx everyone, I think I got what I needed to know. Quote
