[Patriarchal Blessings] [Patriarchal Blessing of Patty Bartlett Sessions on February 18, 1848]
A blessing by John Smith, Patriarch upon the head of Patty Bartlett Sessions, daughter of Enoch and Anna Hall Bartlett, born 4th Feb., 1795, Bethel, Oxford, Maine.
Sister Patty Sessions, I lay my hands upon your head in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth and seal upon thee all the blessings that a father could desire a child to enjoy for thou art of the Blood of Joseph and shall have an inheritance with the sons of Joseph in the land of Zion and partake of all the blessings of the Priesthood in common with thy companion.
Thou shall have faith to heal the sick by the laying on of hands when there are no Elders present to drove the destroyer far from thy habitation. Thy name shall be known among the honorable ones of the House of Israel, as a Mother having great Faith.
Thy name is written in the Lamb[']s Book of Life, never to be blotted out. Thou shall have the administration of Angels, shall have faith to converse with them as with thy familiar friends. Thou shall have a numerous posterity that shall be blessed in thy basket and in thy store and in all thy labours. The fruits of the earth shall be given unto thee until thou art satisfied. The riches of Eternity shall not be withheld from thee. Thou shalt live until thou art satisfied with life and have part in the first resurrection with all thy father[']s house and shall inherit Celestial Glory Worlds without end. Amen.
