What Is a Consecration to Saint Joseph?
A Consecration is a spiritual act of entrusting yourself to the paternal care and intercession of Saint Joseph—Jesus’ earthly father and the faithful spouse of Mary.
By making a consecration, you:
Imitate Saint Joseph’s virtues: humility, obedience, faith, chastity, courage, and silence.
Entrust your family, vocation, and work to his protection.
Deepen your relationship with Jesus and Mary through Joseph’s example and intercession.
Why Consecrate Yourself to Saint Joseph?
Saint Joseph is:
Patron of the Universal Church
Protector of Families
Model of Fatherhood and Work
Terror of Demons
Faithful Guardian of the Redeemer
The world today is in need of faithful men and women rooted in virtue. Saint Joseph shows us how to serve God faithfully, love purely, and trust completely. By consecrating yourself to him, you place yourself under his spiritual fatherhood, asking him to lead you ever closer to Christ.
