Your Patriarchal Blessing: A Liahona of Light
President Thomas S. Monson October
Conference 1986 (Second Counselor)
"A patriarchal blessing is a revelation to the
recipient, even a white line down the middle of the road, to protect, inspire,
and motivate activity and righteousness. A patriarchal blessing literally
contains chapters from your book of eternal possibilities. I say eternal, for
just as life is eternal, so is a patriarchal blessing. What may not come to
fulfillment in this life may occur in the next. We do not govern God’s
timetable. “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my
ways, saith the Lord.""Your patriarchal blessing is your passport to peace in this life. It is a Liahona of light to guide you unerringly to your heavenly home."
"Your patriarchal blessing is yours and yours alone. It may be brief or lengthy, simple or profound. Length and language do not a patriarchal blessing make. It is the Spirit that conveys the true meaning. Your blessing is not to be folded neatly and tucked away. It is not to be framed or published. Rather, it is to be read. It is to be loved. It is to be followed. Your patriarchal blessing will see you through the darkest night. It will guide you through life’s dangers. Unlike the struggling bomber of yesteryear, lost in the desert wastes, the sands and storms of life will not destroy you on your eternal flight. Your patriarchal blessing is to you a personal Liahona to chart your course and guide your way
