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

Bert was no ordinary dog. He was big, strong, and had the softest brown eyes. But what made him truly special was his job—he was a therapy dog. Every day, Bert and his owner, Mrs. G, put on his blue therapy vest and visited schools to help kids feel calm and happy. Some were shy, others nervous, but when Bert walked in, smiles grew, and hearts felt lighter. Bert loved belly rubs, gentle pats, and listening to kids read. It made him feel loved and important. One chilly afternoon, after visiting a school, Bert and Mrs. G were heading out when—slam!—a heavy door shut on Bert’s tail. He yelped. Mrs. G rushed to his side, worried and upset. She quickly took him to the veterinarian, who said part of Bert’s tail needed to be docked to heal properly. Bert had surgery and came home with a short, bandaged tail. But the hardest part wasn't the pain—it was missing the kids. He sat by the door every morning, waiting to go back. Weeks later, Bert had healed. His fur grew back, and one sunny morning, Mrs. G said, “It’s time.” Bert’s tail wagged happily. Back at school, the kids cheered. They didn’t care about his shorter tail—they were just happy their friend had returned. Bert was back, doing what he loved most: helping others, one wag at a time.
