O Glorious Patriarch and Patron of the Church! O Virgin Spouse of the Virgin Mother of God! O Guardian and Virginal Father of the Word Incarnate! In the presence of Jesus and Mary, we choose you this day to be our father, our guardian, and our protector.

O great St. Joseph, whom God has made the Head of the Holy Family, accept us, we beseech you, though utterly unworthy, to be a member of your “Holy House.” Present us to your Immaculate Spouse; ask her also to adopt us as her children. With her, pray that we may constantly think of Jesus, and serve him faithfully to the end of our life. O Terror of Demons, increase in us virtue, protect us from the evil one, and help us not to offend God in any way.

O our Spiritual Father, we hereby consecrate ourselves to you. In faithful imitation of Jesus and Mary, we place ourselves and all our concerns under your care and protection. To you, after Jesus and Mary, we consecrate our body and soul, with all their faculties, our spiritual growth, our home, and all our affairs and undertakings.

Forsake us not, but adopt us as servants and children of the Holy Family.
Watch over us at all times, but especially at the hour of our death.
Console and strengthen us with the presence of Jesus and Mary so that, with you,
we may praise and adore the Holy Trinity for all eternity. Amen.

 

O dearest St. Joseph,
we consecrate ourselves to thy honor and give ourselves to you,
that you may always be our father, protector, and guide in the way of salvation.
Obtain for us a great purity of heart and a fervent love of the interior life.
After your example, may we do all our deeds for the greater glory of God,
in union with the Divine Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary!
And you, O Blessed  St. Joseph, pray for us that we may share in the peace and joy of thy holy death.  Amen.
