Sister Mary, I lay my hands upon your head in the name of Jesus of Nazareth, to bless and seal you up unto Eternal life, according to the Power of the Priesthood, which is invested in me. Therefore, you are blessed spiritually and even temporally according to the Covenant made with Abraham, for you shall have an inheritance with the remnants of his seed, for you are of that lineage, even a daughter of Abraham, and shall be reckoned in that lineage upon Mount Zion, in the City of the New Jerusalem, and in your Spiritual Blessings, your consolation is in the Seal of the promise, but the spaces and interstices will be attended with the tribulation of this life. Nevertheless, these are but light afflictions that await you in all the days of your life, when rightly compared with others, but the Comforter, which is the promise unto you of Eternal life Shall comfort your heart. As also your inheritance, in the lineage of your Fathers, shall be even as a Second Comforter unto you, henceforth. And again your name shall be perpetuated, and handed down from generation to generations, as a blessing, even unto the latest generations, and your days and years shall be given unto you according to your faith, and the desires of your heart. And again your Glory is Celestial to be received in the Morning of the Resurrection. These blessing I seal upon your head. Even so. Amen.
