Consecration
Act of Consecration to St. Joseph
Act of consecration
A short act by which a Christian entrusts himself to St. Joseph as father, protector and guide, asking purity of heart, an interior life and a death like his own. Catholic Online prints the same text with 'Saint Joseph' spelled out.
O dearest St. Joseph, I consecrate myself to your honor and give myself to you, that you may always be my father, my protector and my guide in the way of salvation. Obtain for me a greater purity of heart and fervent love of the interior life. After your example may I do all my actions for the greater glory of God, in union with the Divine Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary. O Blessed St. Joseph, pray for me, that I may share in the peace and joy of your holy death. Amen.
