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

Once upon a time, in a small village, there lived a boy named Ali. Ali loved playing basketball with his friends, but he often felt like he wasn’t good at anything special besides helping others. His friend Omar was great at painting, Ahmad could run faster than anyone, and Anas played the violin beautifully. Ali would watch them and wonder, “What am I good at?” Ali returned to the village, feeling proud. When Granny Muna saw him, she smiled warmly and said, “Did you find your treasure, Ali?” He replied, “I did. My treasure is helping others.” Granny Muna said, “That is a gift greater than any gold. You see, the real treasure is discovering what makes you you.” One day, the village elder, a wise old woman named Granny Muna, called all the children together. She had exciting news: "In the forest, there is a hidden treasure, but this treasure is different. It’s something that only you can find. Each of you will discover something special about yourselves." The children were excited and ran into the forest, eager to find the treasure. Ali followed, but he wasn’t sure where to look. As they searched, Omar found a shiny rock and painted a beautiful picture of the forest. Ahmad discovered a tall hill and raced to the top, faster than anyone else. Anas found a fallen branch and played a lovely tune on his violin. But Ali wandered, unsure of what treasure he was supposed to find. Just as he was about to give up, Ali heard a faint sound. It was a tiny bird, trapped in a thorny bush, chirping for help. Without thinking twice, Ali knelt down and carefully freed the little bird from the thorns. The bird fluttered its wings and sang a sweet melody of thanks before flying off. Suddenly, Ali realized something: he had a special talent too! He was kind and gentle, and he knew how to help others. Even though it wasn’t something he could see or hold, it was a treasure deep inside him.
