Sister Mary in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth I place my hands upon thy head agreeable to thy request and seal upon thee a blessing that shall be a comfort unto thee so long as thou shalt live, which shall be until thou art tired of life. For all thy tribulations thy reward shall be an hundred fold in this life and in that which is to come, Life Everlasting. Thy sins are forgiven thee. Thy last days shall be thy best. Peace and happiness with plenty shall crown thy board and thou shalt see thy children and children's children and they shall rise up and call thee blessed and bear thy name in honorable remembrance to all generations. Thou shalt see a work commenced among thy children which shall be continued until all thy kindred are redeemed, both the dead and the living, for not one shall be lost, for those that have rejected thy testimony shall come bending unto thee and thine after they have paid the uttermost farthing for their rebellion seeking for favor. Thy guardian angel hath watched over thee thy life long. Thou hast wondered many times at the course thou hast been led to pursue. Still thy life has been preserved for good. Thou wilt be crowned a queen to reign in company with thy companion over thy numerous posterity throughout all eternity. All thy former gifts and blessings I renew upon thee with every desire of thine heart, for no good thing shalt thou lack, with eternal lives in the name of Jesus: Amen.
