“One of the ways we can come to understand the divinely appointed mission the Lord has for us is through our patriarchal blessings. These are very specific and individual messages we can each receive by the power of the priesthood.” (Susan W. Tanner, Young Women General President, “Daughters of Heavenly Father,” General Conference, April 2007)
“You can learn more about your life and mission on earth and the light that is in you by preparing to receive and then studying your patriarchal blessing.” (Julie B. Beck, Young Women General Presidency, “You Have a Noble Birthright,” General Conference, April 2006)
“Sometimes people wait longer than is needed to receive their blessing, thinking that they need to qualify for it in some special way. If you can qualify to receive a recommend to do baptisms at the temple, then you should be able to qualify for a patriarchal blessing.” (Julie B. Beck, Young Women General Presidency, “You Have a Noble Birthright,” General Conference, April 2006)
