Sign of the Cross
The Sign of the Cross is not only a gesture—it is a prayer in itself. When Catholics make the Sign of the Cross, we call on the power of the Holy Trinity and remind ourselves of Christ’s saving death and resurrection. We begin and end most prayers this way because it is a prayer: a profession of faith and an invocation of God’s presence.
Words of the Prayer: “In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.”
How to Make the Sign of the Cross:
1. Forehead → “In the name of the Father”
2. Chest → “and of the Son”
3. Left Shoulder, then Right Shoulder → “and of the Holy Spirit”
4. Hands together → “Amen.”
Our Father (The Lord’s Prayer)
This is the prayer that Jesus Himself taught His disciples when they asked Him how to pray (Matthew 6:9–13; Luke 11:2–4). It is the most central and universal prayer in Christianity. For Catholics, the Lord’s Prayer holds a special place in the liturgy: it is prayed at every Mass, within the Rosary, and during private devotion. The prayer expresses trust in God as Father, petitions for daily needs, asks forgiveness of sins, and seeks deliverance from evil.
Words to the Our Father:
Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on Earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen
