Signum Crucis (Sign of the Cross)

 

The familiar and time honored Sign of the Cross can be traced back in one form or another to the first century. A partial indulgence is granted to the faithful who make the Sign of the Cross.

 

 

In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti. Amen

 

 

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

 

 

A slightly different version from the old Roman Breviary.

 

 

Per signum crucis de inimicis nostris libera nos, Deus noster. In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti. Amen

 

 

By the sign of the cross deliver us from our enemies, Thou who art our God. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
