Sister Janet. In the name of the Lord Jesus I place my hands upon thy head and by the spirit and office of my calling I seal upon thee a patriarchal blessing. I say unto thee be thou comforted for thou art one of the daughters of Zion and art numbered among the daughters of Israel, for thou art here in this day and age of the world with a promise that the Angel of the Lord shall be with thee whilst performing thy mission here upon the earth, and he will lead thee and guide thee until thou shalt perform all that the Lord requires at thy hand, for thy lineage is in Joseph through the loins of Ephraim, and thou art an heir to all the blessings pronounced unto the daughters of Jacob.
In obedience to the covenant of peace, the blessings of the Heavens above are thine, and the earth beneath also, and I seal upon thee the blessing of wisdom and of the understanding that thou mayest know how to take care of thy body that thy life may be prolonged upon the earth, and shall have faith to administer the ordinances in thy family even to the healing of the sick by the laying on of hands, and thou shalt have the privilege of going into the temple of the Lord, of receiving ordinances for thyself, of administering the same unto others of thy kinsfolk and friends that will produce their salvation both to the living and dead, and I seal upon thee the blessing of health, and of strength, and of life, and say unto thee that thou shalt live to see Zion redeemed, Israel gathered, and stand as a mother to a numerous posterity, and come forth in the morning of the first resurrection and in connection with thy companion shall stand upon thine inheritance, and be numbered among the sanctified, for I seal this upon thee in the name of Jesus Amen.
