CONSECRATION of the family to the Crucifix

Jesus Crucified, we recognize from you the great gift of Redemption and, for it, the right to Paradise. As an act of gratitude for so many benefits, we solemnly enthrone you in our family, so that you may be their sweet Sovereign and Divine Master.

May your word be light in our life: your morals, a sure rule of all our actions. Preserve and reinvigorate the Christian spirit to keep us faithful to the promises of Baptism and preserve us from materialism, the spiritual ruin of many families.

Give parents living faith in Divine Providence and heroic virtue to be an example of Christian life for their children; youth to be strong and generous in keeping your commandments; the little ones to grow in innocence and goodness, according to your divine Heart. May this homage to your Cross also be an act of reparation for the ingratitude of those Christian families who have denied you. Hear, O Jesus, our prayer for the love that your SS brings us. Mother; and for the pains you suffered at the foot of the Cross, bless our family so that, living in your love today, I can enjoy you in eternity. So be it!
