Consecreation & Dedication
Most Holy Mother Mary,
Queen of Heaven and Earth,
I, Poustinik Brother Martín,
humbly come before you today
to dedicate St. Josephs Poustinia
to your Immaculate Heart and the Holy Face Of Jesus.
This sacred space, set apart for prayer and solitude,
I place under your loving protection.
May it be a dwelling place of peace,
a sanctuary where your Son, Jesus, is glorified,
and where your maternal care is ever felt.
I consecrate myself entirely to your Immaculate Heart,
O Mother of Mercy and Refuge of Sinners.
Take me as your own, dear Mother,
and mold me into a faithful servant of Christ.
Help me to imitate your virtues.
Your humility, your obedience and your unwavering trust in God’s will.
Guide me in this life of prayer and solitude,
that I may grow closer to your Son
and through my sacrifices and offerings,
bring souls to His Sacred Heart.
May this Poustinia be a beacon of hope and grace,
a place where your intercession is sought,
and where your love is poured out upon all who enter.
O Mary, conceived without sin,
pray for me, your devoted child,
that I may remain steadfast in faith,
pure in heart and fervent in love.
I entrust my life, my prayers and my Poustinia to you,
confident that you will lead me ever closer to Jesus.
St. Joseph, guardian of the Holy Family,
protect this Poustinia and intercede for me,
that I may live in humility and faith,
following your example of faithfulness and trust.
Like the humble donkey that carried the Holy Family
in their time of need,
teach me to serve with patience and quiet strength,
bearing the burdens of others with a gentle heart.
May I, like you, walk in simplicity and love,
trusting always in God’s providence.
Mary, Mother of God,
I am all yours, now and forever.
Amen.
