Act of Consecration to the Sacred Family of Nazareth

            
Prayer to be recited especially during Christmas Eve

and at the end of the Holy Rosary of December 24.



Divine Rays descend from

Heaven upon the dear city of Bethlehem.



The Angels announce to the shepherds

the Birth of the King of Humility.



Jesus is known by His Sacred Name,

He is the Prince that was born from the family of King David

but His identity does not belong to this world,

His Wise Spirit comes from the Holy Spirit of God.



The Child Jesus has arrived to the World

to liberate it from error.



He is the Savior of all races,

He is the Messiah of the Celestial Annunciation.



The Angel Gabriel dictated His Sacred Name.

The Most Holy Virgin sheltered the Creator Power upon Her bosom,

from Her most pure womb was born the Savior,

from the Most Holy Mary awakened Christ the Redeemer.



Before this great universal mystery,

our hearts consecrate themselves

because the prophecies of the Patriarchs have been fulfilled

and the Son of God has defeated death with His Divine Passion.



The entire race was renewed

by the victorious coming of the Son of God.



From Bethlehem emerged the Eternal Light for the dark world.



The East united to the West

and nothing will ever again be apart

because we have received the Mercy of God.



We are sheep of the Great Shepherd Child.

We are redeemed stars upon the Earth.



May this Holy Birth of Christ

impel us to continue walking.



Nothing shall detain us.

Nothing shall torment us.

Nothing shall separate us from God. 



We are members of the Sacred Family.

We are children of the Most Holy Virgin.

We are faithful companions of Saint Joseph.



In Christ we shall fulfill the Will of God

as it was in the beginning,

now and forever.



Amen.
