A PATRIARCHAL BLESSING GIVEN BY HENRY BALLARD UPON THE HEAD OF LOUIS SAMUEL CARDON, January 27, 1905 Louis Samuel Cardon, in the name of the Lord, Jesus Christ and by the authority of the Holy Priesthood invested in me, I lay my hands upon your head and seal upon you a Patriarchal blessing, even health and strength and long life to be a blessing to your companion and family. You shall be blessed with a good and numerous posterity and have joy with the same. I seal upon you every blessing that will be for your good and advancement in the work of the Lord, and whatever position you are called to occupy you shall have wisdom given you to honor the same and help to advance the purposes of the Lord upon the earth. Your mind shall expand to be able to grasp every principle of the Gospel and make it plain to the children of men among all of your associates. You shall be an honorable example in your father's family and a blessing and comfort unto your parents and to all of your brothers and sisters. You shall grow in faith and knowledge and understanding of the gospel and no power shall be able to darken your mind nor your testimony in the glorious principles of the gospel which have been revealed to the Prophet Joseph Smith in this, our day. You shall be blessed in being able to continue faithful in the performance of every duty that is required of you for the advancement of the purposes of the Lord. Now rejoice that you have been blessed to come upon the earth in this day and receiving the gospel and gathering with the saints and receiving your blessings in the house of the Lord. Now to this end, I bless you with every blessing that will be for your good in the name of the Lord, Jesus Christ, Amen. |
