“Samuel, you have been a faithful and obedient son. By your faithfulness you have brought many into the Church. The Lord has seen your diligence, and you are blessed, in that he has never chastised you but has called you home to rest; and there is a crown laid up for you which shall grow brighter and brighter unto the perfect day. When the Lord called you, he said, ‘Samuel, I have seen thy sufferings, have heard thy cries, and beheld thy faithfulness; thy skirts are clear from the blood of this generation. Because of these things, I seal upon your head all the blessings which I have heretofore pronounced upon you’ and this my dying blessing I now seal upon you. Even so, Amen.”Your content goes here.
