Prayer on Back:
Act of Consecration to St. Joseph
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, I choose you this day to be my father, my
guardian, and my protector.
O great St. Joseph, whom God has made the Head
of the Holy Family, accept me, I beseech you, though
utterly unworthy, to be a member of your “Holy
House.” Present me to your Immaculate Spouse; ask
her also to adopt me as her child. With her, pray that I
may constantly think of Jesus, and serve him faithfully
to the end of my life. O Terror of Demons, increase in
me virtue, protect me from the evil one, and help me
not to offend God in any way.
O my Spiritual Father, I hereby consecrate myself
to you. In faithful imitation of Jesus and Mary, I place
myself and all my concerns under your care and protection.
To you, after Jesus and Mary, I consecrate my body
and soul, with all their faculties, my spiritual growth, my
home, and all my affairs and undertakings. Forsake me
not, but adopt me as a servant and child of the Holy
Family. Watch over me at all times, but especially at the
hour of my death. Console and strengthen me with the
presence of Jesus and Mary so that, with you, I may
praise and adore the Holy Trinity for all eternity. Amen.
