Consecration to St. Joseph — traditional text, pending confirmation by the President’s office:
O glorious St. Joseph, chosen by God to be the foster father of Jesus, the most chaste spouse of Mary and the head of the Holy Family, I choose you this day to be my father, protector and guide.
With all confidence I consecrate to you my person, my family and this work: keep us under your protection, defend the children we welcome and the mothers who turn to us.
Teach us your hardworking silence, faithfulness in little things and the love that serves without seeking reward.
Grant that, by imitating your virtues, we may be worthy to have you as our father on earth and our intercessor in Heaven. Amen.
Staff, families and community gathered in prayer and at Holy Mass.
St. Joseph, my loving father, I place myself forever under your protection; look upon me as your child, and keep me from all sin.
I cast myself into your arms, that you may lead me on the path of virtue and assist me at the hour of my death.
O God, who in your ineffable providence were pleased to choose blessed Joseph to be the spouse of your most holy Mother, grant, we pray, that we who venerate him as our protector on earth may deserve to have him as our intercessor in Heaven.
Who live and reign for ever and ever. Amen.
Lord, who love and protect children, bless all those you have entrusted to our care.
Give them health, bread, tenderness and a home where they can grow in peace.
Bless mothers and fathers, and all who devote themselves to serving the little ones.
Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Lord, author of life, we praise you for every child conceived, known and loved by you from the very first moment.
Protect unborn babies and sustain the mothers who carry them in their wombs, especially those who face fear and loneliness.
Give us welcoming hearts, so that no one has to choose between the life of her child and her own hope.
May every life be received as a gift. Amen.
Our team prays the Holy Rosary every day, Monday through Friday, at 8:45 a.m.
The exact date of each celebration is announced on our Calendar (in Portuguese) as it approaches.
“There can be no true peace without respect for life, especially if it is innocent and defenseless, as is the life of the unborn child.”St. John Paul II
