Sister Jane, in the name of Jesus Christ, I lay my hand upon thy head to pronounce and seal a Blessing upon thee, and I ask God the Eternal Father for his spirit to invite the same, and to fill thee with the influence thereof, that you may comprehend the Blessings which are in store for you. And I say unto thee be firm in thy mind, yea even as the Rock of Ages in every good word and work. And Thy Blessings shall be equal unto Sarah of old. And Thou shalt be crowned hereafter among the mothers in Israel, for thou art entitled, through lineage, to the blessings of the children of Abraham. Again I say unto thee, be of good faith and of good cheer, for the Lord knoweth the secrets of thy heart. He hath heard thy petitions, and will answer thee to thy satisfaction, and the righteous desires of thy heart shall be granted thee. And Thou shalt rejoice with many of thy kindred, and they will acknowledge there is a God in Israel. And I say unto thee, let thy faith fail not for better days await thee, and thy days and years shall be lengthened according to the desires of thy heart. And Thou shalt have health of body and strength of mind to perform thy daily tasks. And the Angel of thy presence shall watch over thee and make thee equal unto every task, and whisper peace and consolation in thine ear, and buoy thee up when thou art sad, and give thee counsel in time of need. Therefore, I say unto thee, suffer not thyself to be brought down in spirit, but put thy trust in the Lord and all shall be well with thee. This Blessing I seal upon thy head, and I seal thee up unto Eternal life, to come forth in the morning of the first resurrection with many of thy kindred and friends. Even so, Amen.
