[Patriarchal Blessings] [Patriarchal Blessing of Priscilla Porter on March 26, 1848]
Sister Priscilla Porter, agreeable to thy request, I lay my hands upon your head. Thou art blessed and numbered with the daughters of Isaac and Jacob, for thou art in the same Everlasting Covenant and an heir according to promise. Ask and thou shall receive the blessings of an intelligent mind endowed with the gifts of the everlasting gospel, and it shall become thy gift and thy blessing to detect an error and deceit and be a counselor in the society of thy sex. Ask and thou shalt receive the blessing of wisdom from on high, and thou shalt rejoice in the circle of thy family and bring up thy offspring in the fear of the Lord. Thy children and thy children's children shall bless thee. Many of thy kindred that now sit in darkness shall yet rejoice in thy society, for thou art of the seed of Joseph and are to receive equal blessings with his posterity. The Lord, the Savior has respect to thy welfare and has caused thy name to be written in Heaven. He will bless thee with the fruit of the earth and with the fruit of the body, and upon thy posterity will the blessings of the Priesthood rest. Be faithful my daughter in keeping covenants with thy God, and you will be crowned with everlasting blessings upon thy head in the mansions of thy Father, even so Amen and Amen.
