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 Christ I place my hands upon thy head and seal upon thee a patriarchal or father's blessing according to the order of the Church from everlasting. I seal upon thee all the blessings of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the blessings of the priesthood which was sealed upon the children of Joseph. I seal upon thee and thy posterity, for this is thy lineage, thou shalt be blessed with health in thy family and thy children shall multiply like Ephraim and be mighty in the priesthood, shall be able to seal blessings of the new and everlasting covenant upon the children of Jacob. Thou shalt enjoy peace in thy family. Thou shalt go forth to preach the gospel to many people. The Lamanites shall hear thy voice and they shall begin to believe thy word. Thou shalt gather thousands of the remnants of Jacob to the land of Zion. Thou shalt be able to rebuke the winds and the stormy winds, shall do any miracle that is necessary for the gathering of Israel. No power on Earth shall stay thine hand. Thou shalt see Israel gathered and Zion established in peace on the earth, have part in the first resurrection with all thy father's house, and inherit a kingdom that shall never pass away. Amen. |
