priesthood:<br />
“Sana ay nahihikayat natin a<strong>ng</strong> mga na<strong>sa</strong> husto<strong>ng</strong> gula<strong>ng</strong><br />
na maunawaan a<strong>ng</strong> kahalagahan <strong>ng</strong> patriarchal<br />

• Sabi ni Pa<strong>ng</strong>ulo<strong>ng</strong> James E. Faust, Pa<strong>ng</strong>alawa<strong>ng</strong> Tagapayo<br />
<strong>sa</strong> Una<strong>ng</strong> Pa<strong>ng</strong>uluhan:<br />
“Dapat ba<strong>sa</strong>hin a<strong>ng</strong> patriarchal blessi<strong>ng</strong> na<strong>ng</strong> mapakumbaba,<br />
mapanala<strong>ng</strong>in, at madalas. A<strong>ng</strong> patriarchal<br />
blessi<strong>ng</strong> ay napaka<strong>sa</strong>grado at personal, <strong>ng</strong>unit maaari<br />
ito<strong>ng</strong> ibahagi <strong>sa</strong> malalapit na miyembro <strong>ng</strong> pamilya.<br />
Ito ay i<strong>sa</strong><strong>ng</strong> <strong>sa</strong>grado<strong>ng</strong> patnubay na payo, mga pa<strong>ng</strong>ako,<br />
at impormasyon mula <strong>sa</strong> Pa<strong>ng</strong>inoon; gayunman,<br />
hindi dapat a<strong>sa</strong>han <strong>ng</strong> i<strong>sa</strong><strong>ng</strong> tao na idetalye <strong>sa</strong> basbas<br />
a<strong>ng</strong> lahat <strong>ng</strong> ma<strong>ng</strong>yayari <strong>sa</strong> kanya o ma<strong>sa</strong>got a<strong>ng</strong> lahat<br />
<strong>ng</strong> tano<strong>ng</strong>. Kahit hindi ba<strong>ng</strong>gitin <strong>sa</strong> patriarchal blessi<strong>ng</strong><br />
a<strong>ng</strong> i<strong>sa</strong><strong>ng</strong> mahalaga<strong>ng</strong> pa<strong>ng</strong>yayari <strong>sa</strong> buhay, tulad<br />
<strong>ng</strong> misyon o pag-aa<strong>sa</strong>wa, hindi na<strong>ng</strong>a<strong>ng</strong>ahulugan na<br />
hindi ito ma<strong>ng</strong>yayari. Para matupad a<strong>ng</strong> ati<strong>ng</strong> mga patriarchal<br />
blessi<strong>ng</strong>, dapat nati<strong>ng</strong> pagyamanin <strong>sa</strong> ati<strong>ng</strong><br />
puso a<strong>ng</strong> mahahalaga<strong>ng</strong> <strong>sa</strong>lita<strong>ng</strong> nilalaman nito, pagbulayan<br />
a<strong>ng</strong> mga ito, at mamuhay <strong>sa</strong> <strong>para</strong>an na makakamtan<br />
natin a<strong>ng</strong> mga pagpapala <strong>sa</strong> mortalidad at a<strong>ng</strong><br />
puto<strong>ng</strong> <strong>ng</strong> kabutihan <strong>sa</strong> kabila<strong>ng</strong> buhay….<br />
“Mahihikayat tayo <strong>ng</strong> ati<strong>ng</strong> mga basbas kapag pina<strong>ng</strong>hinaan<br />

natakot, maaaliw tayo kapag tayo ay nalu<strong>ng</strong>kot, mapapalakas<br />
a<strong>ng</strong> ati<strong>ng</strong> loob kapag na<strong>ng</strong>amba tayo, at mapapasigla<br />
tayo kapag na<strong>ng</strong>hina a<strong>ng</strong> ati<strong>ng</strong> espiritu. Mapapalakas<br />
a<strong>ng</strong> ati<strong>ng</strong> patotoo tuwi<strong>ng</strong> baba<strong>sa</strong>hin natin a<strong>ng</strong><br />

• Sa men<strong>sa</strong>he ri<strong>ng</strong> iyon, sinabi ni Pa<strong>ng</strong>ulo<strong>ng</strong> Faust:<br />
“Si Manases, na i<strong>sa</strong> pa<strong>ng</strong> anak ni Jose, gayundin a<strong>ng</strong><br />
iba pa<strong>ng</strong> mga anak ni Jacob, ay marami<strong>ng</strong> inapo <strong>sa</strong><br />
Simbahan. Maaari<strong>ng</strong> may ila<strong>ng</strong> napunta <strong>sa</strong> Simbahan<br />
<strong>sa</strong> ati<strong>ng</strong> panahon na hindi mula <strong>sa</strong> lipi ni Jacob. Hindi<br />
dapat isipin ninuman na pagkakaitan siya <strong>ng</strong> anuma<strong>ng</strong><br />
pagpapala dahil hindi siya nagmula <strong>sa</strong> lipi ni Israel.<br />
Sabi <strong>ng</strong> Pa<strong>ng</strong>inoon kay Abraham, ‘At aki<strong>ng</strong> pagpapalain<br />
sila <strong>sa</strong> pamamagitan <strong>ng</strong> iyo<strong>ng</strong> pa<strong>ng</strong>alan; <strong>sa</strong>pagkat<br />
kasindami <strong>ng</strong> tata<strong>ng</strong>gap <strong>ng</strong> Eba<strong>ng</strong>helyo<strong>ng</strong> ito<br />
ay tatawagin alinsunod <strong>sa</strong> iyo<strong>ng</strong> pa<strong>ng</strong>alan, at ibibila<strong>ng</strong><br />
<strong>sa</strong> iyo<strong>ng</strong> mga binhi, at magbaba<strong>ng</strong>on at papupurihan<br />
ka, bila<strong>ng</strong> kanila<strong>ng</strong> ama’ [Abraham 2:10].<br />
“Sina<strong>sa</strong>bi <strong>sa</strong> atin ni Nephi na ‘kasindami <strong>ng</strong> mga Gentil<br />
na magsisisi ay mga pinagtipana<strong>ng</strong> tao <strong>ng</strong> Pa<strong>ng</strong>inoon’<br />
[2 Nephi 30:2]. Dahil dito wala<strong>ng</strong> ipinagkaiba ku<strong>ng</strong><br />
a<strong>ng</strong> mga pagpapala <strong>ng</strong> <strong>sa</strong>mbahayan ni Israel ay dumati<strong>ng</strong><br />
<strong>sa</strong> pamamagitan <strong>ng</strong> lipi o <strong>ng</strong> pagkaampon.<br />
“Baka nababahala a<strong>ng</strong> ilan dahil naka<strong>sa</strong>ad <strong>sa</strong> basbas<br />
<strong>ng</strong> mga miyembro <strong>ng</strong> i<strong>sa</strong><strong>ng</strong> pamilya na iba a<strong>ng</strong> kanila<strong>ng</strong><br />
lipi. May ila<strong>ng</strong> pamilya na magkakahalo a<strong>ng</strong> lipi.<br />
Naniniwala kami na a<strong>ng</strong> <strong>sa</strong>mbahayan ni Israel <strong>ng</strong>ayon
