The foundation of the Pious Union is our consecration.

Consecration to Saint 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.
Date of Consecration: May 1, 2020
