Sister Mary, I place my hands upon your head and seal upon you a patriarchal and Father's blessing. You have journeyed across the great deep and far across the continent of America to fulfill the requirements made upon you in the gathering dispensation. You have covenanted with the Lord to keep his commandments and have taken your lot in the midst of the daughters of Zion and have been willing to share the privations and persecutions with the Saints. And the Lord God has blessed you abundantly and through your willingness to share the privations with the Saints, the Lord has a great blessing laid up for you in store even the blessing of eternal life.
You are an heir to the blessings promised to Abraham and his seed. You are of the house of Israel and through your covenants and your heirship to the great blessings of the kingdom of God I seal upon you the Holy Priesthood pertaining to your sex, and with your companion you shall inherit all the blessings and glories of your Father. Through your faithfulness you will enjoy the glories and blessings in connection with your Redeemer which you had before the foundation of the world for the Lord is mindful of you and has blessed you and will continue His blessings unto you abundantly. You are called you help your sisters in the covenant to bless and administer unto the poor and the needy, a calling if faithful performed will call down blessings upon you.
The saints shall rise up and call you blessed for you are a mother in Israel and shall be worthy of all the blessings that can be placed upon you. The spirit of the Lord shall rest upon you and whatsoever you shall desire of the Lord He will grant unto you. Through your faith you shall inherit all things, health and every other blessing that shall be for your comfort and consolation. Your association with your sisters will be a pleasure unto you. You will be enabled with them to lay in grain for the day of famine that the people of the Lord may be preserved and that they may be blessed with comforts of life when famine desolates the land. You shall have pleasures of seeing the Saints preserved through adherence to the counsel given unto them. For your love and esteem for the gospel revealed through the Prophet Joseph Smith there is no good gift that shall be withheld from you.
You shall live to see a great change upon the earth amongst the children of men. Shortly the kingdoms of the earth will totter.
You shall see the arm of the Lord made bare in the deliverance of His people for He will come down and save His own and while the wicked are being consumed the righteous shall be glad and rejoice in the most high and you shall be with and share in all their joy and rejoicing.
For you shall live as long as you desire life and as long as you can do good on the earth. You shall see the Redeemer coming in the clouds of Heaven and shall come with him to the earth when those that live and remain shall be caught up to meet Him. You will then rejoice with those of your posterity and friends who are caught up to meet you. Your joy shall be full; you shall come forth in the first resurrection and shall enjoy all the glories and exaltations and eternal lives in the Celestial Kingdom of God.
Dear Sister, these with all other blessings to complete your happiness and exaltation I seal upon you by virtue of the Holy Priesthood in the name of Jesus Christ amen.
