The Sign of the Cross


Signum Crucis

In the Name of the Father

and of the Son

and of the Holy Spirit.

Amen

In nomine Patris

et Filii

et Spiritus Sancti.

Amen

 

As you say these words, trace the shape of a cross on yourself with your right hand by touching first your forehead (on the word "Father"), then your chest (on the word "Son"), then your left shoulder ("Holy") and finally your right shoulder ("Spirit"). Fold your hands briefly when you say "Amen".
