The Sign of the Cross


"In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

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".
