PREPARING FOR FAMILY CONSECRATION
Families that make and live consecration defy the odds. Most (if not all) of their children remain active in the Catholic Church as adults.
WHAT IS FAMILY CONSECRATION?
Family Consecration is a commitment to live your baptismal promises with the help of the Holy Family and to set your family apart for God.
Individually and as a family, you entrust yourselves to Jesus, Mary, and Joseph.
You pledge to model your family after the Holy Family. In return, the Holy Family comes to stay in your home and surround you with their love, protection, and guidance.
A WAY OF LIFE
INSPIRED BY THE FATIMA MESSAGE
The AFC has summarized this message in four points:
-
SIN is the cause of all unhappiness.
-
GRACE is more powerful than sin.
-
HOLINESS, cooperation with God’s grace, repairs for sin and brings peace into the world.
-
CONSECRATION maximizes our efforts to repair for sin, because when we entrust ourselves to Mary, she purifies and multiplies our good works.
THE POWER OF FAMILY CONSECRATION
If enough souls live Family Consecration, the ripple effect can become a force strong enough to crush the head of Satan and bring about God’s reign on earth!
