Beloved sister Priscilla - In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth I place my hands upon thy head and pronounce upon thee a Patriarchal blessing. The Lord has heard thy prayers and witnessed the sorrow of thy heart, and has given his angels charge and they will watch over you, and in the great providences of our Father all things shall be controlled for thy good, and thou shalt lose nothing, for thy husband has gone on before thee to perform the mission that was designed for him. He will be exalted, and enjoy a fullness even that which pertains to a celestial crown as a martyr. Rejoice and acknowledge the hand of God and thou shalt raise up a posterity that shall honor thy name, and the names of the kindred shall be honored, for thou art entitled to every blessing that has been promised to the daughters of Ephraim. Thy name is recorded in the Lambs book of life and thou shalt enjoy the spirit of discernment to always know the voice of the good Shepherd. Friends shall be raised up unto thee, and thou shalt stand in thy lot and place in thy father's and mother's house, and take part in the great work of redemption that pertains to thy departed kindred. The Lord will confer upon thee every blessing that shall redound to his glory and which shall be for thy good. This blessing is given to comfort thee. Be prayerful and claim the provisions thereof. I bless thee also that thy days of usefulness may be many. And thou shalt reign as a queen and priestess in connection with thy husband in the celestial kingdom. If thou desires it thou shalt remain upon the earth and be prepared for the coming of our Lord and Savior. I seal all these blessings with every blessing thy heart can desire in righteousness by the authority of the Holy Priesthood even so amen. |
Dear Sister Janet, in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth I place my hands upon your head and seal upon you a Patriarchal blessing which shall be in accordance with the desires of your heart. You have been greatly blessed and through your posterity a great work shall be performed. The inspiration of the Almighty has directed you and his providences have been so overruled that you became acquainted with and accepted the blessing prepared for you, even your husband who is a man of faith; for it was agreeable to the mind of the Lord that you might fill the measure of your creation with a man of God. Rejoice therefore and be exceedingly glad and no power shall prevent you from entering into your exaltation. You have received the highest blessings that can be given here on the earth, having entered into the holy place and received the great annointing which pertains unto those who are counted the most worthy. All your blessings have come unto you because you received the most sacred law, which has made you a queen and secured to yourself the right of eternal increase. Your exaltation shall be with your husband, and he shall make his calling and election sure. Your blessings are inseparable in this world and in all the worlds to come. Praise the Lord continually, but few on the earth at this time who have attained unto greater privileges, therefore a great work has already been performed. Great promises have been made to your father which must be fulfilled through you and your posterity. The prophet spoke of this day when Saviors should come up upon Mount Zion, for you are a descendant of Joseph that was sold into Egypt, therefore the blessings of the New and Everlasting Covenant have been sealed upon you. And remember dear Sister that all your trials and afflictions are but for a moment and shall be like the seed that is cast into the earth, which shall bring forth an hundred fold, and when you return to the spirit world there is an eternal mansion prepared and a crown of eternal life. You associations shall be with Joseph Smith, and with the Holy men and women and your husband; and your posterity shall be exalted in the lineage and kingdom of your husband. This blessing pertains to this world, while you remain in the flesh and through all eternity. Your prayers have been answered and shall continue to be heard. Rejoice I say again and your days shall be prolonged until you have finished your work. Impart all the information concerning your relatives to your posterity that a crown of glory may come unto your father's and mother's house. I seal all your former blessings upon you with these blessings, and inasmuch as you are faithful, there shall not one word fail, and you shall reign as a queen and priestess in connection with your husband, and possess a crown of eternal life. Even so Amen. |
