There’s a small crucifix dangling from the end of the rosary. The string directly holding the rosary has a single large bead, 3 small beads, another large bead, and a small icon or image. The actual loop of the rosary is comprised of 5 “decades” of beads.  A “decade” is 10 small beads followed by a large bead. The first decade begins on the left-hand side of the rosary and moves outward from the icon. The larger beads denoting the start/end of each decade are also called “Our Father” beads. The smaller beads in the middle sections are also called “Hail Mary” beads. Most people prefer to gently grasp their rosary in their right hand. This allows you to more easily move the rosary around and touch each of the beads as you say each prayer. If you prefer to kneel, make sure that the rosary doesn’t touch the ground at any time. While still holding the rosary, move your hand so that it is in front of your body. Pull your thumb inwards towards your palm and lightly touch your ring finger with it. Alternatively, you can complete the cross with all 5 fingers.  For some people, performing the cross with all 5 fingers is meant to symbolize the 5 wounds of Jesus Christ. Raising only your middle and index fingers can symbolize the divine and human parts of Christ. Many congregations will have a specific hand gesture that they use for the cross. Talk with your religious leaders for guidance if you are unsure. Whether you use a full hand or just a few fingers, this should be a light, purposeful touch and nothing more. As soon as your fingers make contact with your forehead, say aloud, “In the name of the Father…” which is the beginning of the Trinitarian formula that is said while making the sign of the cross. You can also say the Latin translation, “In nomine Patris…” Slowly and sedately move your right hand so that your fingertips gently press against the center of your sternum. As soon as your fingers make contact, say, “and of the Son…” Continue to clasp the rosary in your right hand as you make these movements.  You can also position your left hand flat against the center of your chest and tap your right fingertips slightly above it.  The Latin translation here is, “et Filii…” Continuing to use the fingertips of your right hand, gently tap the front-facing part of your shoulder. When your fingertips make contact, say, “And of the Holy…” You can also say the Latin translation, which is, “…et Spiritus…” Continuing to use your right hand, touch the front-facing part of your right shoulder. As soon as your fingertips make contact, say, “…and the Holy Spirit…” The Latin translation here is, “...Sanctus.” Position your hands in front of your body with your palms flat and touching one another. Make sure your fingertips face upwards. When your hands touch, say, “Amen.” This is the end of the Sign of the Cross and the conclusion of the Trinitarian formula as well.

Article: It is important to understand the motivation behind wanting to get a cat in the first place in order to choose the best possible cat to bring home.  Some common reasons include:  Wanting unconditional love and constant companionship To fill a void created by the loss of another pet or companion Wanting a friend for your child while also teaching them about responsibility Wanting to take care of someone every day Owning a pet is a big responsibility, and the decision to get a cat can mean signing up for these responsibilities for about 15 to 18 years. It is important to be aware that over the next decade plus, this cat will be in your life as a constant companion, but also as a constant obligation.  Be sure you are willing to take care of a cat throughout your life and theirs before going any further in the process. In addition to the initial cost of the cat, which can be very high if you choose to go to a breeder, you also need to consider other ownership expenses.  Keep in mind you will also need to pay for food, visits to the veterinarian, identification tags, microchipping, and other incidentals, which can really add up quickly.  The ASPCA estimates that the first year alone will cost a cat owner about $1,035. You may really want to get a cat, and you may have the means to do so, but there are a few other requirements you should consider before deciding that a cat is the right choice at this point in your life:  Do you have any other pets and will they react well to a new cat? Are you allowed to have cats at your current residence? Will your work and social life allow time to care for, and interact with, a new cat? What would you do with your cat if you went on vacation? Do you, or anyone else that would commonly interact with the cat, have allergies to cats, cat hair, dirt, or dander? Do you have children who may need a cat with a particular type of temperament?
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Ask yourself why you want to get a cat. Consider whether you are ready for the long-term commitment. Determine whether you can afford to get a cat. Consider other complications of cat ownership.

Article: Baby oil works using the same principles as cooking oils, either by dissolving the adhesive or releasing its grip upon skin. An added benefit is that most baby oils are made to be especially gentle, making this a great choice for delicate skin.  Most baby oils are simply mineral oil with a small amount of scent added. You can use pure mineral oil as an alternative to baby oil — often, it is slightly cheaper. If you're removing adhesive from a child's skin, try adding a drop of food coloring to the baby oil and using it to "paint" the affected area.  The oil will remove the adhesive and the coloring will provide a fun distraction. Since most lotions have an oil or lipid (fat) base, they can work for removing adhesive just like baby oil or cooking oils. Rub in a small amount of lotion, let it sit for several minutes, and rub with a gentle towel or cotton ball. Unscented lotions are best. The chemicals used for added fragrances can sometimes cause pain and rashes on irritated skin. Since warmth loosens many of the adhesives used in bandages, you can use it to make these materials more effective. Warm water will wash off the oil or lotion, so use a warm compress instead. Our article on warm compresses details several easy ways to do this.  Try filling a tube sock most of the way with dry, uncooked rice. Tie a knot in the open end to keep the rice in. Microwave the compress in 30-second increments until it is warm, but not too hot to handle. Hold the compress over the adhesive as you let the oil or lotion soak in. Place a rag between the compress and the skin if you are worried about getting the sock greasy.
