Sign of the Cross
We begin and end our prayers with the Sign of the Cross. Catholics begin and end their prayers with the Sign of the Cross. This prayer combines words and actions. Here are steps to follow :
In the name of the Father
Touch your right hand to your forehead. This means :
Come bless me, God,
come bless me,
bless me in every way.
Come bless what I see,
and bless what I hear,
and bless what I think and say.
and of the Son
Then move your right had to touch your heart. This means:
Bless me, Jesus, bless my heart
that I may love everyone.
and of the Holy Sprit
More your right hand to your left shoulder and then to your right shoulder.
Then say:
Amen.
Fold your hands over your heart. This means :
O God, thank you, for all I have this day. God's hands in mine
as I bless myself,
God in heaven above,
and the Cross of Jesus
blesses me too,
the Cross of Jesus' love.
