“St. Joseph, spouse of Mary, virginal father of Jesus, and my SPIRITUAL FATHER,
I CONSECRATE myself
entirely to you. I lovingly embrace your FATHERHOOD
& take refuge under
your PATERNAL CLOAK. Help me to pray & be virtuous today.
Instruct me in the wisdom of the saints, PROTECT me from the snares of the enemy, & keep me from sinning.
Should I take my last breath today, be by my side, & take me to heaven to be with Jesus & Mary. Amen.”
