After Holy Mass, at approximately 7:00 p.m., we will offer a coronation of St. Joseph. In the universal Church, it is customary to crown images of Our Lady to honor her as the Queen of Heaven. It is also appropriate to complement this special devotion with a crowning of St. Joseph, as St. Joseph was from the line of David, himself being royal, as Our Lady, another descendant of King David, was.

We show honor to our spiritual father, St. Joseph, just as Our Lady and Our Lord did, in this crowning ritual; when we devote ourselves to St. Joseph, we can love Our Lord and Our Lady all the more. In enthroning St. Joseph in our hearts, we can enthrone Our Lord and Our Lady all the more deeply, as St. Joseph teaches us how to love them well. Attached is a condensed version of the ritual text for the coronation, which includes opening prayers, the crowning rite itself, and the Litany of St. Joseph. In saying the Litany of St. Joseph, honoring our spiritual father with so many special titles, we can crown him anew in our hearts each day.

Our act of consecration will follow the coronation of St. Joseph, at approximately 7:15 p.m., as we further solemnize the ritual by officially crowning St. Joseph in our hearts, offering ourselves to his service, so that we would ultimately serve God the Father as faithfully as he did, becoming closer to Our Lady and Our Lord, our means to union with the Eternal Father, in the process.

LEO XIII

Prayer to Saint Joseph

To thee, O blessed Joseph, we have recourse in our affliction, and having implored the help of thy thrice holy Spouse, we now, with hearts filled with confidence, earnestly beg thee also to take us under thy protection. By that charity wherewith thou wert united to the Immaculate Virgin Mother of God, and by that fatherly love with which thou didst cherish the Child Jesus, we beseech thee and we humbly pray that thou wilt look down with gracious eye upon that inheritance which Jesus Christ purchased by His blood, and wilt succor us in our need by thy power and strength.

Defend, O most watchful guardian of the Holy Family, the chosen off-spring of Jesus Christ. Keep from us, O most loving Father, all blight of error and corruption. Aid us from on high, most valiant defender, in this conflict with the powers of darkness. And even as of old thou didst rescue the Child Jesus from the peril of His life, so now defend God's Holy Church from the snares of the enemy and from all adversity. Shield us ever under thy patronage, that, following thine example and strengthened by thy help, we may live a holy life, die a happy death, and attain to everlasting bliss in Heaven. Amen.
