This
week your child learned to make the sign of the cross, a
sign of blessing and of our belief in the triune God.
God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit are
each fully and eternally God. Yet our faith is always in
one God, a unity of three in one. The mystery of the
Blessed Trinity is the central mystery of Christian
faith and life. God has revealed to us this mystery of
faith. The doctrine of the Blessed Trinity helps us to
understand that God is our Creator, Redeemer, and
Sanctifier. Catholics begin worship and prayer in the
name of the Trinity by making the sign of the cross.
The
Sign of the Cross
Invite
your child to show how he or she can make the sign of
the cross. Pray it together before your child goes to
bed.
We
Care
Ask
your child to think of ways that your family can care
for our world. Choose one of them that you will do together
this week. Perhaps you can invite other families in
the parish to join with you in this work of caring.
