Welcome To
The Consecrati Family!

Popular devotions are like little springs of grace between the Sunday wellsprings. Praying the Rosary as a family in the evening, venerating a saint on their feast day, or spending a few moments in adoration during the week – these are ways we sanctify our ordinary routines. Such practices keep us mindful of God’s presence at home, at work, at school – not just in church on Sunday. They also cultivate virtues in us: patience, trust in God’s providence, penance and compassion, love of neighbor, and a spirit of sacrifice. The Church’s pastoral wisdom is to integrate and elevate popular piety rather than dismiss it. Indeed, devotions often serve as “springboards” into a deeper sacramental life – for example, praying the Divine Mercy chaplet can deepen our appreciation of Confession, or a home devotion to the Sacred Heart can inspire more fervent Communion on Sundays. In short, when we unite our devotions with the liturgy, our whole life becomes liturgical and prayerful. This is how we fulfill St. Paul’s exhortation: “Pray constantly” (1 Thes 5:17). Little by little, this habit of prayer sanctifies the ordinary moments – transforming daily chores, family meals, commutes, and even sufferings into opportunities to grow in holiness. This is the essence of consecrated living: everything, no matter how humble, can be offered to God.

Here at Consecrati Family Ministries, our mission is to help you tap into this “treasure” of the Church – to live a consecrated life every day by combining sound teaching with heartfelt devotion. On the following pages, we present three beautiful paths of consecration that have borne great fruit in the Church: Consecration to the Blessed Virgin Mary, Consecration to Saint Joseph, and Consecration to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. These devotions, loved and recommended by countless saints and popes, are profound ways to draw closer to Jesus Christ. Each involves a total entrustment of oneself to God through the loving intercession of Mary, Joseph, or the grace of Jesus’ own Heart. Each is typically preceded by a prayerful 33-day journey of preparation (with Scripture readings, reflections, and prayers), culminating in a solemn act of consecration on a special feast day. We encourage you to learn about these consecrations and consider embarking on one of these spiritual journeys – whether on your own, with your family, or in a parish group. By consecrating our families and ourselves to Jesus through Mary, Joseph, or His Sacred Heart, we respond to God’s call to holiness in a concrete, life-changing way. It is our hope that through these pages, you will feel inspired to say “yes” to a personal encounter with Christ and the saints – an encounter that will transform your life and fill your home with grace.
