Nicolas Pitau I, after Jan Cossiers, St. Joseph with the Christ Child, 1660. Rijksmuseum.
O MY most adorable Infant Jesus, my King, my Father, and my Lord, I dedicate myself to thee this day, giving up to thee my whole being, my soul, my body, my will, the goods which thou hast given me, and in short, all that belongs to me; I beseech thee to take possession and absolute dominion of all, as I desire no longer to live but in thee, nor to possess anything in the world, except it be according to thy will, permission, and divine appointment, so that henceforth I must look upon myself simply as an instrument in thy hands, O most holy Infant Jesus, to do whatsoever thou desirest of me, with a simple heart.
I beg these graces of thee, through the intercession of the most holy Virgin Mother and my advocate, and of my protector, St. Joseph. Amen.
