Sister Mary, I lay my hands upon thy head by the authority of the Priesthood & being appointed to bless the fatherless, I seal a fathers blessing on thee; thou art of the same lineage with the companion even of the house of Joseph, & thou has a right to the same blessings & priesthood & power which are sealed upon him; thou shalt have power to heal thy children in the absence of thy companion by the laying on of hands & do miracles for the health & happiness of thy family if it is necessary; Angels shall minister unto thee & increase thy stores of provisions & thy wants shell be supplied; thy house shall be a healthy habitation & thy children shall be a comfort to thee in thine old age; they shall become numerous & be a mighty people; the number of thy years shall be according to thy faith & enjoy all the glory of the R______ (illegible) kingdom, which cannot be described; by patient & listen to counsel & not one word of this blessing shall fail, for I seal it upon thee & thy posterity in common with companion, 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. |
