*****, by virtue and power of the Holy Melchizedek Priesthood in me vested, and the calling whereunto I have been called, I lay my hands upon your head, and seal upon you your Patriarchal Blessing, that you may learn the mind and will of our Father in Heaven concerning you, and receive comfort and guidance there from, as you shall consider it throughout your life here on this earth. Dear Sister *****, thou art of the household of Israel through the lineage of Ephraim which makes you an heir to the blessings of the Priesthood which were pronounced upon this choice generation of our Father's Kingdom. Thou hast already been greatly blessed in thy life in receiving this fine tabernacle in which you dwell, and in thus far partaking of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I bless you that the truths of the Gospel will become plain unto you, that you may understand fully the pathway which our Father desires you to follow. Thou hast been called out of the world that you may open the way for many of our Father's children to find their way into His Kingdom. Thou shalt be given wisdom and understanding in this most important work. Thou shalt see the hand of the Lord manifest in your behalf, that you may become a Savior unto your dear ones who have gone into the life beyond. Seek our Father in Heaven diligently for His guidance and He will give you great joy in this work, and in all things you do in your life; that you may be able to pattern your life in full harmony with the Gospel. Thy testimony will be greatly increased and the spirit thereof will radiate from your being, that will give you joy in your labors and bring happiness to all those with whom you associate.
I bless you in your home, that all things will work in harmony, that you may be able to do our Father's work and that through the blessings of our Father in Heaven, and your kindliness, thou shalt have the privilege of having thy home and thy life united in the bonds of the Holy Priesthood, which is the greatest blessing you can receive while here in mortality. I bless you that Satan shall not have power to destroy your good works; that you may be able to overcome all evil, and perform your life's labors, that they will bring honor and glory unto our Father in Heaven, and be to your eternal salvation. Always remember our Father in Heaven. Acknowledge His hand in all things, and He will remember you and be near you and bless you, that you may never feel alone. Through His Holy Spirit thou shalt be comforted in time of need, that the troublous times of this world shall not overcome you. Go forward each day with full trust in our Father in Heaven and He will give thee joy and reveal unto thee, from time to time, those things which will be of most worth unto you, that your life may be full and complete. I bless you and seal you up that you shall come forth in the morning of the first resurrection and there join your loved ones in being crowned with honor and glory, and go on to eternal progression in our Father's Kingdom. All these things, blessings, and whatever else our Father has in store for those who love Him will be granted unto you according to your faithfulness and obedience unto the commandments of our Father in Heaven. I seal this blessing upon you, and reseal all former blessings in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.
