An open, easily-accessed and navigatable website, LDS.org, is available to all seeking to come unto Christ and to learn more about what Mormons believe about hope, peace, salvation, families, the temple, and the individual path to happiness and eternal life. While some content requires LDS account information to access, the site is open for all who desire to know more about the Savior and His living Church on the earth today. We encourage you to share it with those you know.

I’ve browsed, buttoned, breathed-in and been blessed by this site’s myriad offerings–from apostolic and prophetic voices on the healing power of the atonement of Jesus Christ, hopeful excerpts from a living prophet, President Monson, to scripture study audio files (we used them last night in our family night study), and various links to other useful sites for meetinghouse locators, and local activity-laden ward (congregational) sites.

I also love the fact that members can even request a copy of a lost patriarchal blessing and that I can keep a gospel notebook right online as we study.  For those of other faiths visiting, a patriarchal blessing is an inspired blessing, administered by one so designated and set apart to hold the authority of a “patriarch,” which gives direction to each individual who receives one–to compass their lives, declaring as well their spiritual lineage.  These blessings are different than other administrations of the priesthood. They are given normally once in a lifetime to members who have prepared to receive them, when they feel ready, after fasting and prayer, and are at the specific hand of the Patriarch whose gift and mantle allow him to share what Heavenly Father inspires him to share regarding the life and talents, the admonitions and promises to guide the individual through this mortal experience towards eternal life.

Back to the site, there are links to Mormon Messages, as well as navigational tour videos, and numerous other nooks and crannies of information. Hope you’ll enjoy your many visits to the site: LDS.org.
