Sister Mary I lay my hands upon thy head in the name of Jesus and in his name I seal a father's blessing and ratify by virtue of the Priesthood all thy former blessings and seals that have been pronounced upon thee. I seal upon thee equal blessings with those sealed upon the daughters of Abraham. As to thy fidelity thy prudence thou art equal with Mary of old. Thou hast preserved thy covenants in honor. Thy example will be revered as a pattern of piety by the rising generation. Thou hast been faithful in thy stewardship in rearing thy offspring. Thou hast counseled them in prudence, in chastity and love. They will rise up and bless thee. They will preserve thy name and memory. Let them be instructed by thy counsel that thy work in thy exaltation may be made complete, that thy partner will be restored to thy bosom in the fellowship of love. Be comforted my daughter for thy partner's spirit is oft hovering about thee when peace occupies thy mind, which does illuminate, which does convey light to thy thoughts. Remember his presence is near. He sees thee do all thy labors in all thy meditations, and in the morning of the resurrection a reunion will take place. Then will thy joy be full. Then wilt thou realize the plan of redemption which has been obtained through the merits of Christ's blood. There thy children will be given thee, where separating will cease forever. Then will the Patriarchal order of God be established for the rule of thy government. There the blessings of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob will crown thy labors. Cherish in thy bosom the whisperings of peace and thou shalt dwell a Mother in Israel to console the heart of the widow and orphan. Thou hast many attributes in thy bosom that will be extended upon the minds of thy posterity, that will become a lamp in their path. Thou art from Ephraim, a pure descendant from the promised seed. By the authority of the holy Priesthood I seal thee up to be crowned with glory, immortality, and eternal lives. I place the seal in the name of Jesus, even so Amen and Amen. |
Aunt Mary by viture of my office and in the name of Jesus Christ I place my hands upon thy head to bless thee and I ask the Eternal Father for his spirit to write the same and fill thee with the influence thereof. Thou art in years and hath seen many changes. Thou hast passed through many trials and seen afflictions for the gospel sake and I say unto thee be of good faith and of good cheer and let thy heart be comforted. The Lord is pleased with thine integrity. He hath heard thy petitions and will answer thee to thy satisfaction and reward thee for every trial through which thou hast passed. Thy name is written in the Lamb's Book of Life and shall be handed down in honourable remembrance from generation to generation and thou shalt be crowned among the faithful mothers in Israel. Thou art of the blood of Joseph and of the lineage of Ephraim and entitled to every blessing pertaining to the New and Everlasting Covenant with the gifts thereof. Thy days and years shall be prolonged until thou art satisfied with life and shall see the coming of the Messiah and have an inheritance on Mount Zion, the New Jerusalem, with the Saints for ever. Let thy heart be comforted for I seal upon thee through the power of the Priesthood the blessing of health and thou shalt be made equal unto every task and shall fulfill thy mission upon the Earth and thy great-grandchildren shall comfort thee in thine old age. This with all thy former blessings with the blessings of the Redeemer's Kingdom I seal upon thy head and I seal thee up unto eternal life to come forth in the morning of the first resurrection with many of thy kindred and friends, even so Amen. |
