I guess I don't understand the reasoning behind a 2nd Patriarchal blessing. Even if you are excommunicated and rebaptized...all is to be restored. Though I don't think your Patriarchal blessing was ever taken away. It is what it is..a blessing given. Your lineage doesn't change. Many things don't change. As most say they will rise forth with the first resurrection that probably won't change either. Your original Patriarchal blessing usually gives some promises that if you do this or that..certain blessings will be yours. If you have failed to live up to those...do you just say..Okay I don't get those blessings how about some others?

One thing in my patriarchal blessing promises that if I keep it I will have numerous blessings. It's something I struggle with daily. That won't change just having another one.
