Lorenzo Snow Saw the Savior in the Temple — How We Can Part the Veil Too | LDS

Send us Fan MailDid the Savior really appear to President Lorenzo Snow in the Salt Lake Temple — and can ordinary Latter-day Saints (LDS) part the veil the same way? On this story episode of Thinning of the Veil, host Tia Smith walks through President Lorenzo Snow's 1898 visitation from Jesus Christ — recorded by his son LeRoy C. Snow and his granddaughter Allie Young Pond in the Improvement Era (1933) — and draws out a pattern any of us can follow.Tia bridges last week's doctrine (the veil of the temple rent at the Savior's death) with the power of altars, connecting the account to Elder Jeremy R. Jaggi's October 2025 general conference talk, "Humble Souls at Altars Kneel." The takeaway: we invite the parting of the veil as we worship at altars — the temple and the weekly sacrament — make and keep covenants, take the Savior's name upon us, and present ourselves humbly before the Lord: "Here am I… thy will be done."Q: Did President Lorenzo Snow see Jesus Christ in the Salt Lake Temple?A: According to the account recorded by his son LeRoy C. Snow and granddaughter Allie Young Pond (Improvement Era, 1933), Lorenzo Snow testified that the Savior appeared to him in a corridor of the Salt Lake Temple after President Wilford Woodruff's death in 1898 — instructing him to reorganize the First Presidency at once and telling him he would succeed President Woodruff.Q: How can ordinary Latter-day Saints have a "thinning of the veil" experience?A: In this episode, Tia teaches that these experiences usually come line upon line, and that a key part of the pattern is worshiping at altars — the temple and the sacrament table — making and keeping covenants, and humbly offering ourselves to the Lord ("Here am I; thy will be done"), just as President Snow did.Q: What does Elder Jaggi's "Humble Souls at Altars Kneel" have to do with Lorenzo Snow?A: Tia connects President Snow's temple experience to Elder Jeremy R. Jaggi's October 2025 address, which teaches that at holy altars — the sacrament table and temple — we bind ourselves to Jesus Christ and gain greater access to His mercy, protection, sanctification, healing, and rest.This is how we learn to part the veil between heaven and earth in our own lives — at the altars of the Lord.▶️ WATCH & LISTEN🎬 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@thinningoftheveil🌐 Website: https://www.thinningoftheveil.com🎧 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/thinning-of-the-veil/id1753511394🟢 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6jWCfMHkZXwnSwy2b98J4M🎵 Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/a0a45561-d4c2-46d3-af8d-a1e967a21a25📖 BOOKPatterns of Revelation — Spiritual Foundations for Hearing God's Voice: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BW36MG9B📱 CONNECTInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thinning.of.the.veilFacebook Group (Gathering of the Gatherers): https://www.facebook.com/groups/1429562078443774Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/thinningoftheveil💛 SUPPORT THE SHOWVenmo: https://account.venmo.com/u/thinningoftheveilPayPal: https://paypal.me/thinningoftheveil✉️ Have you had a thinning of the veil experience?
