O Mary, loving Mother of Jesus and our Mother,
by Your gracious intercession
make this humble dedication acceptable to Jesus
and obtain for us His graces and blessings.
Saint Joseph,
holy guardian of Jesus and Mary,
assist us by Your prayers in all our spiritual and temporal necessities;
so that, with Mary and with you,
we may for all eternity bless
and thank our Divine Redeemer, Jesus.
Amen.
