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. |
Brother Hiram, in the name of Jesus Christ I lay my hands upon thy head to seal a father's blessing upon thee, because thy father is absent, nevertheless thou art entitled to a blessing under my hands. Thou art of the seed and lineage of Joseph, who was sold into Egypt, and an heir to the blessing and priesthood which was sealed upon his head under the hands of his father, which will enable thee to be a Savior on Mount Zion to save thy dead and living friends, and to bring them up in the resurrection of the just, and to reign over them to all eternity, also to push the scattered remnants of Jacob from the ends of the earth, and no power on earth shall stay thy hand, for the Lord has given his angels charge over thee. They will guard thee by night and day, defend thee from all dangers, and no enemy shall prevail against thee, and no bonds nor chains shall stay thy progress. Thou shalt converse with angels from time to time. This shall be thy comfort when thou art far away from thy friends. Thou shalt accomplish a great mission and bring thy thousands to Zion with their gold and silver and precious things to thine inheritance among thy brethren, and rest in peace with thy companion and a numerous posterity. The number of thy years shall be according to thy faith, even to see the winding up scene of this generation, to see Zion extended and peace established over the whole continent of America. Finally thou shalt have every desire of thy heart, and shall inherit glory, honor, immortality, and eternal life, and I also seal this blessing upon thy posterity forever. If thy faith fail not not one word of this blessing shall fail, for I seal it upon thee by the authority of the Holy Priesthood. Amen. |
