Act of Consecration to the the Holy Family
Another Version
O Jesus, our most loving Redeemer, Who didst come into the world to enlighten it by Thy teaching and by Thine example, and Who didst will to pass the greater part of Thy mortal life in the poor cottage at Nazareth in humble subjection to Mary and Joseph, thus sanctifying that Family which was to be the model of all Christian families, graciously receive this family which dedicates and consecrates itself to Thee this day. Do Thou protect us, do Thou watch over us! Do Thou bestow upon us Thine holy fear, peace, concord and Christian love that so, by the imitation of Thy Family as our pattern and model, we may each and all obtain everlasting happiness.
O Mary, loving mother of Jesus and our mother, by thy gracious intercession, may this humble dedication be acceptable to Jesus, and obtain for us His graces and blessings.
St. Joseph, holy guardian of Jesus and Mary, assist us by thy prayers in all our spiritual and temporal necessities so that, with Mary and with thee, we may for all eternity bless and thank our divine Redeemer, Jesus.
Our Father, Hail Mary and Glory Be three times.
Our Father
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.
Hail Mary
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
Glory Be
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
Acts of consecration to the Holy Family are traditionally done on the Feast of the Holy Family or during the month of February (being the month dedicated to the Holy Family).
