pam Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 I'm going to have to say no.Receiving a Patriarchal BlessingTo receive our patriarchal blessings, we must meet certain personal requirements. We must:1. Be worthy, baptized members of the Church.2. Have a desire to receive direction from the Lord.3. Have studied the gospel and know the purpose of patriarchal blessings.4. Be mature enough to appreciate the significance of and receive encouragement from the blessing.5. Receive a recommend from our bishop or branch president.6. Make an appointment with the stake patriarch to receive our patriarchal blessing.LDS.org - Melchizedek Priesthood Chapter Detail - Patriarchs and Patriarchal Blessings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morajic Posted August 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 I'm going to say I meet all those requirements. I guess I'll see what my bishop says. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be worthy, baptized members of the Church.But you are correct - talk with your Bishop, just don't be surprised when he tells you that you must wait.

morajic Posted August 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 I talked with my bishop and he agrees with the consensus. My only reasoning for saying that I meet the criteria is that I would have been refellowshipped years ago but the fact that I was involved in the court system prevented my status from being changed. Thanks for all of your input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misshalfway Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 Well, whatever timeline you are on, I love that you want a p-blessing. It's a good desire. I hope you can get one soon. It's sure a wonderful thing to have. I keep mine in my nightstand and read it often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
