O glorious St. Joseph, to you God committed the care of His only begotten Son amid the many dangers of this world.

We come to you and ask you to take under your special protection the children God has given us.

Through holy baptism they became children of God and members of His holy Church.

We consecrate them to you today, that through this consecration they may become your foster children.

Guard them, guide their steps in life, form their hearts after the hearts of Jesus and Mary.

St. Joseph, who felt the tribulation and worry of a parent when the child Jesus was lost, protect our dear children for time and eternity.

May you be their father and counselor. let them, like Jesus, grow in age as well as in wisdom and grace before God and men.

Preserve them from the corruption of this world, and give us the grace one day to be united with them in heaven forever.

Amen.
