Family Consecration to the Holy Family - Dec 26/27
Family Consecration will take place at all Masses on the weekend of Dec 26 & 27
How to Prepare:  In preparation to the Holy Family, your family should not only decide to dedicate itself to the Holy Family's intersession but also acknowledge that the family is sacred.  The decision to consecrate your family needs to be intentional and a process through which you completely surrender to God through the Holy Family.  You are accepting the truth that salvation history was changed forever by a family and that through your domestic church, you are called to live their example.
Four suggested steps before praying the consecration to the Holy Family:
1 Discuss the importance of this consecration as a family and why you are doing it.
2 Each member of your family is strongly encouraged to go to the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
3 As a family, intentionally choose something to fast from.  The fast can be for at least a week.  As our physical bodies are drawn to things of the world, it is strongly encourage that you fast from something that would normally do or consume.  Fasting helps to disciple our minds and hearts to refrain from secular activities and be more focused on God.
4 Prepare for the commitment you are making. Consecration to the Holy Family is not a single event.  You have chosen a way of life for your family.  You and your family are consciously choosing to be a beacon of light God's love through His Church.
