This term refers to a specific devotional practice within the Catholic Church that spans approximately five weeks, culminating in a formal act of entrusting oneself to the patronage and guidance of Saint Joseph. The devotion is often structured around a set of daily prayers, readings, and reflections, compiled into a document that is frequently distributed in Portable Document Format for ease of access and dissemination.
This spiritual preparation is undertaken by individuals seeking increased virtue, divine assistance, and a closer relationship with the Holy Family. It can provide a framework for spiritual growth, foster a deeper understanding of Saint Joseph’s role in salvation history, and promote qualities such as humility, obedience, and faithfulness. Historically, consecrations to saints have been viewed as powerful means of intercession and spiritual protection.
