9-Day Consecration to St. Joseph
Each day of this novena contains a brief story about various apparitions of St. Joseph, with special prayers.
With this consecration, we seal ourselves as his children. We place into his fatherly protection ourselves, our families, our jobs and ministries, and the Church. We also consecrate to his fatherhood those who are not following Christ, especially our own family members, because Joseph’s desire in heaven is that all of his children love his son, Jesus, and follow him to everlasting life.
