https://divineheartofgod.org/consecration-prayer-to-god-the-father/ https://holymassimages.blogspot.com/2016/07/god-father-of-all-mankind.html I put these 2 links as an example but Im a bit confused with the whole thing in general. Some sites say the process\consecration is from Divine Will spirituality, others say it comes from private messages to a nun ("the Father speaks to the world" revelations). Some sites say 8 days (octave), others say 30... does anyone have experience with this consecration? is it advisable to undertake, or should one get a parish church or priest's guidance? Maybe this is MY theological mistake, but I view the God Father as a sort of monarchical figure whom one must love yet obey, and he is foreign to person-based devotions...he is ruling over all religious duties, but can't be "linked with" unlike Mary, or a particular saint or angel. my idea, not the site's ideas.
Maybe it’s my ignorance on consecration and specifically this one but prior to taking any vow or consecration I would suggest running it by a good priest to make sure I’m in the correct spiritual state with a firm resolution to follow the requirements of said vow or consecration. Having said that we have a Merciful and Loving God that will understand our childish babbling and our will and intent. I myself have done the consecration to Our Lady and rely on Her Mantle for protection and grace. I have also taken another vow but also have fallen short of following all the requirements- something I also be sure to include in my confessions
God the Father of Mankind seeks to reveal a unique Message to His children; "The Father speaks to His children" was entrusted to Mother Eugenia, a nun belonging to the Congregation of Our Lady of the Apostles.The Messages of the Father to Eugenia in 1932 are the only private revelations (the first time in the history of the Catholic Church) made personally by God the Father; and is recognised as authentic by the Church following ten years of the most rigorous examinations conducted and approved by the Vatican. I did this consecration for the first time this year, having come across it some time previous. It has to be done on the First Sunday in August. As it happened I was also invited to a special mass in honour of God the Father on that same day. Beautiful!

"I am the Father of all those living now and of those whom I shall create until the end of the world..." "Day by day I will talk to you about My wishes for men, about My joys, My sorrows, and most of all, I will show men My infinite goodness and My tender and compassionate love." "Since man's creation, I have never for one moment stopped living beside him... Thus I live close to man, I follow him everywhere, I help him in all things, I supply everything." "Call me by the name of Father, with confidence and love..." The Father requests an Annual Feast Day in August (always the first Sunday). CONSECRATION PRAYER TO GOD THE FATHER My Dearest Father, please accept this offering of myself, my body, my mind, and my soul: I praise You for Your creation, all Your works and wonders. I thank You for giving me life and for all that You have done for me. I offer up to You all that You have so generously given to me. I am sincerely sorry for not knowing loving, serving and honouring You as I should. I embrace my inheritance as Your child, both the joy and responsibilities. I give You my yes so that I may be an instrument of Your Will. I pledge my fidelity and I ask for the grace of steadfastness and perseverance in my faith. Most loving, caring and merciful of Fathers, in Your Divine Presence, I sincerely proclaim my love for You; I give myself and my family to You; and I solemnly consecrate myself and my family to You, now and forever. Dearest Father, as Your child, I ask that You send Mary to guide me to Jesus and that Jesus sends me the Holy Spirit so that they may all bring me to You. May You dwell with me and in me, a living temple prepared by Mary, dedicated by Jesus and purified by Your Holy Spirit, and may I always be with You and in You. May You permit me as Your child to be Your true and intimate friend, one who loves You above all things. May You come for me when I die, to bring me home to You. I further ask You, Father, for the sake of all mankind, to have mercy on all Your children, past, present and future. Bring peace to the world, and gather all Your children to Yourself. May Your Kingdom come and Your Will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Amen. Fiat. I love You, my Father, and I give myself to You, Dad. Please help me to do Your work on earth and bring many souls with me to Heaven. As the Father tells us: Love pays for everything and LOVE – LOVES us all.

Another prayer to God the Father is found on pp. 63–65 of the book (see the link above), with partial indulgence granted. If prayed as a novena, add this invocation at the end of the prayer: “I promise to be more generous, especially during these nine days, in a given circumstance, to such and such a person ...”
Fr. Mark Goring has included this book in his school of reading list. I remember reading this years ago but was somewhat hesitant to go any further into the idea of Consecration to the Father. Thank you for the excerpts. I’m rethinking the whole thing.
--------- God the Father’s Message: https://www.thefatherspeakstohischildren.com/God-the-fathers-message In honour of God the Father's requested annual feastday on the first Sunday of August (which will be tomorrow this year), I have copied and pasted the prayer to God the Father (composed by Mother Eugenia Ravasio, a nun belonging to the Congregation of Our Lady of the Apostles): A Prayer to God the Father My Father in Heaven, how sweet it is to know that You are my Father and that I am Your child! Especially when the skies of my soul are cloudy and my cross weighs more heavily, I feel the need to repeat to You: Father, I believe in Your love for me! Yes, I believe that You are a Father to me at every moment of my life, and that I am Your child! I believe that You love me with an infinite love. I believe that You are watching over me night and day and that not a hair falls from my head without Your permission! I believe that in Your infinite Wisdom, You know better than I what is good for me. I believe that in Your infinite power, You can bring good even out of evil. I believe that in Your infinite goodness, You make everything to the advantage of those who love You, even under the hands of those who strike me. I kiss Your hand which heals! I believe, but increase in me faith, hope and love! Teach me always to see Your love as my guide in every event of my life. Teach me to surrender myself to You like a baby in its mother’s arms. Father, You know everything. You see everything; you know me better than I know myself. You can do everything, and You love me! My Father, since it is Your wish that we should always turn to You, I come with confidence to ask You, together with Jesus and Mary ... (here request the favour that you desire). For this intention, and uniting myself to their Most Sacred Hearts, I offer You all my prayers, my sacrifices and mortifications, all my actions, and greater faithfulness to my duties.* *(If this prayer is to be recited as a novena, add: “I promise to be more generous, especially during these nine days, in a given circumstance, to such and such a person ...”) Give me the light, the grace and the power of the Holy Spirit! Strengthen me in this Spirit, that I may never lose Him, never sadden Him and never allow Him to become weaker in me. My Father, I ask this in the name of Jesus, Your Son! And You, Jesus, open Your Heart and place in it my own, and, together with Mary’s, offer it to our Divine Father! Obtain for me the grace that I need! Divine Father, call all men to Yourself. Let all the world proclaim Your fatherly goodness and Your Divine Mercy! Be a tender Father to me and protect me wherever I am, like the apple of Your eye. Make me always a worthy son/daughter; have mercy on me! Divine Father, sweet hope of our souls, may You be known, honoured and loved by all men! Divine Father, infinite goodness poured out on all peoples, may You be known, honoured and loved by all men! Divine Father, beneficent dew of humanity, may You be known, honoured and loved by all men!
