Sister Mary, I lay my hands upon thy head and bless thee with a father's blessing. You have been willing to forsake friends and country for the sake of the Gospel of the Son of God. Therefore your sacrifice has been accepted. You have been blessed in the fruit of your womb and your children shall increase until a mighty host of faithful sons and daughters shall be your reward. For the virtue that is within you through your faith and works you have been gathered to Zion. And through your faith you shall be blessed in Zion. And if you will in the own due time of the Lord give unto your husband wives and like Sarah of old be a mother unto them in all kindness of your purpose, blessings shall be showered upon you, even as doves flock to their windows bearing olive branches, so shall your blessings be unto you. For with your companion you shall have an inheritance in the Zion of Enoch. And I bless you with every blessing that your heart can desire in righteousness. You shall be as a savior to your kindred, for through your faith and works they shall be gathered into the fold. You shall come forth in the morning of the First Resurrection and have your robes made pure in the blood of the Lamb, for I seal you up unto Eternal Life with the forgiveness of your sins - In the name of Jesus, Amen.
