Making the Sign of the Cross at the start of the day, before meals, or in moments of distress serves as a reminder of one's identity as a Catholic. It is a way to invoke God's protection and grace in daily life. Profession of Faith: The Sign of the Cross is a declaration of belief in the Holy Trinity—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The words "In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit" affirm the unity of God while simultaneously recognizing the distinct persons of the Trinity. This gesture encapsulates the core mysteries of Christianity, including the Incarnation and the redemptive death of Jesus Christ Symbol of Salvation: By tracing the cross, Christians acknowledge the significance of Christ's sacrifice. The cross is not merely a symbol of suffering but a representation of salvation and the love of God for humanity. It reminds believers of the Paschal Mystery—Christ's death and resurrection—which is central to Christian faith

We, Catholic, believe that we were made to glorify God by knowing God, loving God, and serving God. Our life here on earth is a pilgrimage. We want to return home in heaven by doing God’s will.
