and of the Holy Spirit.

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".
