The Holy Trinity: One God.
THE SIGN OF THE CROSS.
Make the sign of the cross, ☩ saying:
IN the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.
This sacred sign may be regarded as a compendium of all the mysteries of our faith, as a homage rendered to the three Persons of the adorable Trinity, as an act of gratitude for all that the Godhead, — the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, — has condescended to do in favor of man.
Indulgence of 100 days. — Pius IX., March 23, 1876
PRAYERS TO THE MOST HOLY TRINITY TO BE SAID AT THE END AND AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR.
Pope Pius IX., by a brief, December 5, 1876, granted to all the faithful, who, with at least contrite heart, during the last half hour of the year and the first half hour of the following year, shall pray to the Most Holy Trinity in thanksgiving for benefits received; beseeching the same Holy Trinity for peace among Christian nations, for concord among Christian princes, for the conversion of sinners, and for the triumph of holy Mother Church and its visible head, the Roman Pontiff, an indulgence of 7 years.
THE CANTICLE OF THE SERAPHIM.
HOLY, holy, holy, Lord God of hosts! the earth is full of Thy glory. Glory be to the Father, glory be to the Son, glory be to the Holy Ghost.
Indulgence of 100 days, once a day; three times every Sunday and during the Octave of the festival of the Most Holy Trinity. — Clement XIV., 1769 and 1770.
