Brother Francillo I lay my hands upon your head, in the name and by the authority given me of Jesus Christ, to bestow upon you a blessing which is called Patriarchal and in unison with the promises obtained by faith in the days of your ancient fathers, the same cometh unto you in your days, in honour to the lineal descent, wherein the Priesthood is your right, being of the seed and lineage of the tribe of Manassah, therefore, I bless you with that seal of promise in that connection wherein you are to receive your inheritance, and the honour of your eternal felicity, through which you are to receive your Priesthood and the numbering of your posterity when you shall be called unto the genealogy which are written in the Chronicles of your brethren and you shall be blest with the Holy Priesthood, with its gifts and graces in due time being attended with its divine honours, even unto its fulness and shall go forth and come forth from places unto places and shall prosper in the way, and shall save yourself and your house and your father's house that remain from this untoward generation, and shall redeem wherein redemption remaineth in the day of redemption according to the power of your Priesthood, and shall come up in your testimony, and receive the anointing which is a seal of the Priesthood and as a preparation for your burial, a seal as the Lord's anointed and an inducement according to the calling wherein you may be chosen to stand upon Mount Zion in the New Jerusalem and you shall be blessed in your avocations Spiritually and Temporally, nevertheless you are not exempt from the days of your tribulation. These are the promises for you and your children after you and by them shall your name be perpetuated and as to your days and years and your inheritance as touching your days of probation shall be according to your faith, nevertheless they shall be many. These blessings I seal upon your head even so 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. |
