In our tribulation we fly to You, O blessed Joseph;
and, after imploring the help of your most holy Spouse,
we ask also with confidence for your patronage.
By the affection which united you to the Immaculate Virgin Mother of God,
and the paternal love with which you embraced the Child Jesus,
we beseech you to look kindly upon the inheritance
which Jesus Christ acquired by His precious Blood,
and by your powerful aid to help us in our needs.
Protect, most careful Guardian of the Holy Family,
the chosen people of Jesus Christ.
Keep us, most loving father,
from all pestilence of error and corruption.
Be mindful of us, most powerful protector,
from your place in heaven,
in this warfare with the powers of darkness:
and, as you snatched the Child Jesus from danger of death,
so now defend the holy Church of God
from the snares of the enemy and from all adversity.
Guard each one of us by your perpetual support,
so that, sustained by your example and help,
we may live in holiness, die a holy death,
and obtain the everlasting happiness of heaven.

Amen.

Lord Jesus Christ,
in union with that divine intention
where on earth You offered to God
Your praises through Your Most Sacred Heart,
and now offers them in the Sacrament of the Eucharist
everywhere on earth even to the end of time,
I most gladly offer You throughout this entire day,
all my thoughts and intentions,
all my affections and desires,
all my words and deeds,
in imitation of the most sacred Heart of the blessed
and ever Virgin Mary Immaculate.

Amen.

O Jesus, our most loving Redeemer,
Who came into the world
to enlighten it by Your teaching and by Your example,
and Who will to pass the greater part of Your mortal life
in the poor cottage at Nazareth,
in humble subjection to Mary and Joseph,
thus sanctifying that Family
which was to be the model of all Christian families;
graciously receive this family
which dedicates and consecrates itself to You this day.
protect us, watch over us !
Bestow upon us Your holy fear,
peace, concord, and Christian love;
that so, by the imitation of Your family
as our pattern and model,
we may each and all obtain everlasting happiness.

I am the wheat of God,
and am ground by the teeth of the wild beasts,
that I may be found the pure bread of God.
I long after the Lord,
the Son of the true God and Father, Jesus Christ.
Him I seek, who died for us and rose again.
I am eager to die for the sake of Christ.
My love has been crucified,
and there is no fire in me that loves anything.
But there is living water springing up in me,
and it says to me inwardly:
"Come to the Father."

Graciously hear us, O God, our Savior,
that we rejoice in the festival of blessed Teresa, Your Virgin,
so we may be fed with the food of her Heavenly teaching,
and grow in loving devotion towards You.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son,
Who lives and reigns with You,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
world without end.

Amen.

God our Father,
may we always profit by the prayers
of the Virgin Mother Mary,
for You bring us life and salvation
through Jesus Christ her Son
Who lives and reigns with You
and the Holy Spirit, one God,
forever and ever.

Amen.

Lord Jesus Christ,
who are called the Prince of Peace,
who are yourself our peace and reconciliation,
who so often said, Peace to you, grant us peace.
Make all men and women witnesses of
truth, justice, and brotherly love.
Banish from their hearts whatever might endanger peace.
Enlighten our rulers that they may guarantee
and defend the great gift of peace.
May all peoples of the earth becomes as brothers and sisters.
May longed-for peace blossom forth
and reign always over us all.

Amen.
