Sister Caroline I lay my hands upon thy head in the name of Jesus of Nazareth, and seal and confirm on thee a father's blessing, thou art a daughter of Abraham and of the blood of Ephraim, and thou hast a right to the blessing and benefits of the priesthood in common with thy companion, and all the blessings which were sealed upon the daughters of Joseph I seal upon thee, thou shalt be a mother in Israel, and be endowed with power from on high in company with thy companion, and thou shalt raise up a posterity to keep thy name in remembrance, even a mighty people, and they shalt be held in high estimation among the saints and thou shall have power to heal the sick and to drive the destroyer from thy dwelling, and thou shalt be blest in thy house with health, peace and plenty shall dwell in thy borders, and no good thing shall be withheld from thee, and if thou art diligent in keeping the commandments of the Lord and are one with your companion without discord, thou shalt be saviors on Mt Zion, to save all that you desire to both of the dead and living, bring them up in the morning of the resurrection, and be exalted to reign over them in due time in the house of Israel forever, now sister be patient under all thy trials, never be hasty to give thy opinion upon matters that you understand not, and follow the counsel of the servants of the Lord, and these words shall not fail amen. |
Beloved brother, in the name of Jesus of Nazareth I place my hands upon thy head and seal upon you a patriarchal or father's blessing; even all the blessings of the everlasting priesthood that was sealed upon Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and upon the children of Joseph in the land of Egypt, for this is thy lineage, and thy name shall be had in honorable remembrance in the Church through thy posterity from generation to generation. Thou shalt be blessed in thy basket and in thy store. Thou shalt have an inheritance in the land of Zion, a very great plantation. Thou shalt have all kinds of beast and carriages, shall have servants and handmaidens that will delight to obey thy voice. Thou shalt pass through afflictions and not be troubled. Thou shalt not be beset by the hand of the destroyer. Thou shalt have the ministering of angels which shall teach you great wisdom. Finally, thou shalt have the riches of eternal life. Thy posterity shall be numerous almost as the stars of heaven. You shall live, if you desire it, to see the winding up scene of this generation and bring thy father's house to a knowledge of salvation and be satisfied with life forever. Even so Amen. |
