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

One night, as Alden drifts into sleep, he is transported to an ancient, magical forest filled with shimmering trees and glowing fireflies. There, he encounters Griffyn, a grumpy but wise griffin who tests him with a riddle. Alden successfully answers, proving himself worthy of staying in the enchanted realm. Soon after, they meet Sylphine, a mischievous fae who seeks their help in retrieving her lost moonstone. Guided by Sylphine’s directions, Alden and Griffyn soar through the forest and arrive at a mystical clearing where the gem rests atop an ancient pedestal. However, a spectral wolf guards the treasure. Rather than fighting, Alden realizes the wolf is not an enemy but a guardian. Speaking calmly, he convinces the creature to allow Sylphine to reclaim her moonstone. In gratitude, Sylphine gifts Alden a tiny silver feather, promising it will bring him luck. As the dream fades, Alden awakens back in his bed, clutching the feather—proof that his magical adventure was real. Excited for what awaits him next, Alden knows that when he dreams again, another grand adventure will begin.

On a sunny day Aqma, an ordinary boy, happily strolled around the village humming happily. “It is really a shooting day, I am so happy to be able to walk and breathe this air.” Aqma continued to walk happily while mumbling his favorite song. In the middle of his fun walk Aqma met an old lady who was having a struggle calling her cat who was up in a tree. “Koko, come down don’t stay up there, it is time for you to eat, c’mon Koko!” The old lady called out her cat while holding her waist. “Let me help you, Grandma!” Aqma offered, quickly climbing the tree. “Here’s your cat!” he said, handing Koko back to her. “Thank you so much gentleman! Here are some buns for you to eat.” Aqma took the buns with a smile and said thank you then continued on his way. In the middle of continuing his walk, Aqma met a man who was struggling to carry a lot of luggage. “Hi, sir! Let me help you carry your stuff.” Aqma immediately helped carry the man's luggage. The man smiled as Aqma helped him carry his belongings home. With Aqma’s help, the man reached home. “Thank you, kid. Come rest and have a glass of water,” the man said. Aqma rested for a while and enjoyed the man’s hospitality. Arriving home to his surprise, Aqma’s house was swarming with people trying to put out the fire. Aqma was confused and shocked at the same time, he just remembered that when he was walking earlier he forgot to turn off the stove and now he had no place to stay. He just stood there looking at his house that was slowly disappearing. Aqma sat limply lamenting his fate, the only thing he could save was his body. From a distance, the people looked at his loneliness until without Aqma realizing it, the old lady and the man he helped earlier approached him “You can stay at my house, child,” the old lady said.“My home is always open if you’re hungry,” the man added. From that day on, Aqma remained grateful for the kindness of others and vowed to keep helping people every day.
