Act Of Consecration To The Holy Family

O Jesus, our most loving Redeemer, who came to illuminate the world with Your teachings and example, and chose to spend most of Your life in humility and obedience to Mary and Joseph in the humble house of Nazareth, thereby sanctifying the Family that serves as a model for all Christian households, we implore You to graciously accept our family as we dedicate and consecrate ourselves to You today. Protect us, watch over us, and instill within us Your holy fear, true peace, and harmony in Christian love, so that by living in accordance with the divine example of Your family, we may all reach eternal joy without exception. Mary, beloved Mother of Jesus and our Mother, through your gentle intercession, make our humble offering pleasing to Jesus and obtain for us His graces and blessings. O Saint Joseph, most holy Guardian of Jesus and Mary, assist us with your prayers in all our spiritual and temporal needs, that we may praise our divine Savior Jesus, along with Mary and you, for all eternity. (Recite the Our Father, Hail Mary, and Glory Be three times.) Amen. (An indulgence of 500 days. A plenary indulgence is granted under the usual conditions if this prayer is repeated with devotion daily for a month.)
