Well, welcome everybody to the National Shrine of the Divine Mercy here on the last day of

November, the last day of the Holy Souls this month dedicated to them.

I'm Father Chris.

We're glad that you could be with us.

And as I said, welcome to the National Shrine of the Divine Mercy.

And today we're doing, I always give you guys talks of the history of the church or a Marian apparition,

but today is going to be how to live your faith

in such a way to save your family.

There is nothing more important other than saving our own soul, because remember that's your number one

obligation you you are most you are obligated to first save your own soul or to

obviously God save your soul but to cooperate with that grace for salvation

but the next most important thing you are tasked in this life is to save your

family now you don't save them,

but you lead them to God who saves them. And so today's topic is going to be family consecration.

So before we begin with the prayer, this is important because let's go to our next slide,

then we'll begin with a prayer. There are many forms of consecration.

We have consecration to Jesus through Mary in union with St. Joseph, so we have consecration

to Mary. You see 33 days in morning glory. We have consecration to St. Joseph with Father

Don Calloway. Now, Father Thaddeus has done consecration to the Immaculate Conception, and you're probably like,

Father, what is going on with all these consecrations? I'm confused. There's so many of them. I'm telling you right now,

the family consecration brings them all together. Because think about it, that's the Holy Family.

Consecration to Jesus through Mary in union with St. Joseph.
