What I Love About Studying Other Religions
We use the word a patriarch often. We talk about patriarchal blessings. Every blessing bestowed by man is at the core o prayer, since it asks god to help him accomplish what he, by himself cannot. The patriarch sees himself as god's co worker and as an essential link between the generations. Jacob sees his life spread before him. He is aware of the continued presence of god, andkow es it with deep feeling. Past and future are now fused. His life is completed. And when we go into a patriarch when we sit there and we have those hands placed on our heads, this is what is happening.
