Sister Janet in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth I place my hands upon thy head and seal upon thee a patriarchal blessing. Thy name is written in the Lamb's Book of Life never to be erased. Thou art of Joseph and thine inheritance shall be with Ephraim's children. Thy sons and thy daughters shall be mighty and numerous, to the increase of which there shall be no end. Thy last days shall be thy best for all thy desires shall be granted unto thee in righteousness. Thou shalt be a wise counselor among thy sex and thousands shall seek unto thee because of thy wisdom. Thou shalt do a work in the house of the Lord which shall commence the redemption of all thy kindred which shall be continued until all are redeemed together into one. Thou shalt be crowned a queen and reign with thy companion over thy numerous posterity to all eternity. If thou desirest it with all thy heart, doubting not, thou shalt not taste of death but be changed and caught up to meet thy Savior, thy companion and children with thee. Thou shalt see a temple built and a cloud and pillar of fire rest upon it, do a work therein, and see thy sons and daughters stand as mighty pillars in Zion. All thy former gifts and blessings I renew upon thee in the name of Jesus thy Redeemer with Eternal Lives: 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. |
