Sister Mary I lay my hands upon thy head in the name of Jesus and in his name I seal a father's blessing and ratify by virtue of the Priesthood all thy former blessings and seals that have been pronounced upon thee. I seal upon thee equal blessings with those sealed upon the daughters of Abraham. As to thy fidelity, thy prudence, thou art equal with Mary of old. Thou hast preserved thy covenants in honor. Thy example will be revered as a pattern of piety by the rising generation. Thou hast been faithful in thy stewardship in rearing thy offspring. Thou hast counseled them in prudence, in chastity and love. They will rise up and bless thee. They will preserve thy name and memory. Let them be instructed by thy counsel that thy work in thy exaltation may be made complete, that thy partner may be restored to thy bosom in the fellowship of love. Be comforted my daughter for his spirit is oft hovering about thee when peace occupies thy mind, which does illuminate, which does convey light to thy thoughts. Remember his presence is near. He sees thee do all thy labors in all thy meditations and in the morning of the resurrection a reunion will take place. Then will thy joy be full. Then wilt thou realize the plan of redemption which has been obtained through the merits of Christ's blood. There thy children will be given thee, where separating will cease forever. Then will the Patriarchal Order of God be established for the rule of thy government. There the blessings of Abraham, of Isaac and of Jacob will crown thy labors. Cherish in thy bosom the whisperings of peace and thou shalt dwell a mother in Israel to console the heart of the widow and orphan. Thou hast many attributes in the bosom that will be extended upon the minds of thy posterity that will become a lamp in their path. Thou art from Ephraim a pure descendant from the promised seed.
By the authority of the Holy Priesthood I seal thee up to be crowned with glory and immortality and eternal lives. I place the seal in the name of Jesus, even so Amen and Amen.
