Sister Miriam I lay my hands upon your head in the name of Jesus of Nazareth to place upon your head a father's blessing. Thou art also a descendant of Ephraim and art entitled unto the holy priesthood in connection with thy companion. Therefore thou shalt have power to administer unto thine own family by the laying on of hands in the absence of other authorities, and their sickness shall be healed, and thou shalt have power to rebuke the power of the Destroyer and in thy lonely moments thou shalt enjoy spiritual manifestations which shall be a comfort and consolation unto you. Thy posterity also shall become numerous and the fruits of the Earth also thou shalt enjoy. Fear not my daughter for thou shalt see some afflictions in thy days, but thou shalt have power to overcome them all and made to rejoice with the holy one in Israel. Thou shalt yet see many days upon the Earth because thou hast desired in thy heart to see the prosperity of Zion and by the authority of the holy priesthood I seal all these blessings upon thy head and by the same authority I seal thee up unto eternal life. Even so, Amen.
