Consecration To Jesus Through St. Joseph: Day 9

Day 9 of the 33-Day Consecration to Jesus Through St. Joseph. From the book, CONSECRATION TO ST. JOSEPH: THE WONDERS OF OUR SPIRITUAL FATHER- By Donald H. Calloway, MIC Purchase it here: https://consecrationtostjoseph.org/ "Devotion to St. Joseph is one of the choicest graces that God can give to a soul, for it is tantamount to revealing the entire treasury of our Lord’s graces. When God wishes to raise a soul to greater heights, he unites it to St. Joseph by giving it a strong love for the good saint." ~ St. Peter Julian Eymard What does it mean to consecrate yourself to St. Joseph? What does it mean for a person to be consecrated to St. Joseph? Well, it basically means that you acknowledge that he is your spiritual father, and you want to be like him. To show it, you entrust yourself entirely into his paternal care so that he can help you acquire his virtues and become holy. Total consecration to St. Joseph means you make a formal act of filial entrustment to your spiritual father so that he can take care of your spiritual well-being and lead you to God. The person who consecrates himself to St. Joseph wants to be as close to their spiritual father as possible, to the point of resembling him in virtue and holiness. Saint Joseph, in turn, will give those consecrated to him his undivided attention, protection, and guidance. If you have already consecrated yourself to the Virgin Mary, can you be consecrated to St. Joseph, as well? The answer is a resounding “Yes!” God desires that all children be committed to the care of a mother and a father. You are not a member of a single-parent spiritual family. Mary is your spiritual mother, and St. Joseph is your spiritual father. The spiritual fatherhood of St. Joseph is extremely important for your spiritual growth. Total consecration to Mary is not diminished by total consecration to St. Joseph. Mary wants you to consecrate yourself to St. Joseph! Jesus wants you to consecrate yourself to St. Joseph! Everything you have given to Jesus and Mary can also be given to St. Joseph. The hearts of Jesus, Mary, and St. Joseph are one. Day 2 we will be reading a reflection from Father Donald Calloway, pray the Litany of St. Joseph & the Memorare of St. Joseph. If you miss a day, just make it up and continue your preparation.
