In the month of February we celebrate the Holy Family, Jesus, Mary, and Joseph. The sanctified life of Holy Family is a mirror that reflects the perfect love of the Holy Trinity, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The Holy Family is the most perfect model of virtue for every Christian home.
This simple prayer of consecration to the Holy Family can be prayed on the Feast of the Holy Family of Nazareth in December or prayed each morning during the month of February. The tradition of honoring the Holy Family each year during the month of February is a great way to pray with and for your family with the help of the intercession of the Holy Family.
Before beginning your prayer of consecration to the Holy Family, you may want to ask Jesus, Mary, and Joseph for the grace to follow their example of love and selflessness throughout this day, and then ask for the Lord to bless each member of your family, naming them all, one by one.
“By his obedience to Mary and Joseph, as well as by his humble work during the long years in Nazareth, Jesus gives us the example of holiness in the daily life of family and work.”
Catechism, 564
Prayer of Consecration to the Holy Family
O Jesus, our most loving Redeemer, who, having come to enlighten the world with Your teaching and example, did will to spend the greater part of Your life in humility and subjection to Mary and Joseph in the poor home of Nazareth, thus sanctifying the Family that was to be an example for all Christian families.
Graciously receive our family as it dedicates and consecrates itself to You this day. Protect us, guard us, and establish among us Your holy fear, true peace, and unity in Christian love: so that by living according to the divine pattern of Your family we may be able, all of us without exception, to attain to eternal happiness.
Mary, dear Mother of Jesus and Mother of us, by your kindly intercession, make this, our humble offering, acceptable in the sight of Jesus, and obtain for us His graces and blessings.
O Saint Joseph, most holy Guardian of Jesus and Mary, help us by your prayers in all our spiritual and temporal needs; so that we may be enabled to praise our divine Savior Jesus, together with Mary and you, for all eternity.
AMEN.
