Sister Rosalia, in the name of the Lord Jesus, I place my hands upon thy head and by the authority of the Holy Priesthood, I seal upon thee a patriarchal blessing and I say unto thee, be thou faithful unto the end of thy days for thou art one of the daughters of Zion and art numbered among the daughters of Israel and thy lineage is in Ephraim, who is the first born of Israel, and through his lineage all blessings flow and the promises of the patriarchs of old are unto him and his children, and it is thy privilege and thy duty to contend for them and contend for the faith of the saints that you mayest obtain them for this is thy privilege and right. Thou shall be called as a teacher and a counselor unto the daughters of Manasseh and they will receive thee and call thee their savior and thou shalt teach them in languages that thou dost not now understand as many have done before thee and they shall rise up and call thee blessed. Thy name shall be had in honorable remembrance through all generations to come and thou shall administer ordinances unto them, both in and out of the Temple of the Lord, both to the living and for the dead and be an instrument in the hands of the Lord of bearing thy part in the salvation and redemption of thy Father's house for many generations back and in connection with thy companion. Thou shalt secure unto thyself all the promises and blessing of the everlasting gospel which are promised unto thee by the patriarchs of old and to the end of thy children after thee. Thou shalt live to see the winding up scene, even be it thou art satisfied of life and shall desire to go hence and receive thy part in the morning of the first resurrection and according to thy faith, I seal this upon thee in the names of Jesus, Amen.
