Patriarchal Blessing

A Patriarchal Blessing is a religious practice within the Latter-day Saint (Mormon) tradition, where a church leader known as a patriarch gives an individual a personal blessing. This blessing often includes guidance, comfort, and insight into the person's life, including their potential and responsibilities. It typically outlines spiritual lineage, helping individuals understand their heritage and place within the faith. The blessing is considered sacred and is meant to provide spiritual support throughout a person's life, reinforcing their faith and encouraging them in their personal and spiritual journey.
