Can't even translate this correctly !
In the name of the Father , and the Son , and the Holy Spirit .
I suspect another John P. type has encroached here , although perhaps a little better read , but just as mislead .
I didn't find it necessary to translate it.
Priests, when BLESSING someone or something always make the sign of the cross with their hand/fingers saying or singing "In nomini....etc."
I know the translation in English, I've mentioned it in some previous posts, but apparently you missed it.
Few dioceses here in the US use the Latin language, it is now English
In many foreign countries today they use their native language, not Latin.
I can tell that you are not R.Catholic.
