This was used in the ritual/prayer from the lead characters in Boondock Saints. I tried googling it and I got forum signatures...

And something about Acquinas, but no translation.

What's the origin? The meaning? How should I pronounce it?

In the name of the Father and the Son (and the) Holy Spirit.

It comes from Latin, the Vulgate Bible.

Pronunciation: EEN NOH-mee-nay PAT-ree eht feelee SPEEreetu SAHNKtay"

I had two years of Latin in High School. Latin is unique in that the verb is at the end of the sentence, and the ending means something. Nominee (in the name of) Patris (Father God), et felia (and theson, Jesus), et spiritus( and the Spirit) Sanctus (I Bless You). As done by a Priest if you are a believer priest as spoken of in First Peter 2:9 a Royal Priest, REC

I think you probably forgot another 'et' in there, but yes it does mean 'In the name of the father, the son, and the holy spirit'. It's from 'the sign of the cross' used in many catholic services. (Possibly in other christian services as well, but I'm unsure.)The language it is in right now is Latin. The 'sign' is done by putting a hand up in front of your forehead (saying 'in the name of the father), then down to the middle of the chest (and of the son), over to the left shoulder(and the holy), and then to the right(spirit'), creating a cross in the air. There are many reasons that people perform this sign. Some to ward of bad things by invoking the name, it's performed in church services after prayer, some people do this before they pray before they eat. As an interesting side note, the word 'spiritus' (..which 'spiritu' derives from) can also mean breath or air. It is hard to say how it is pronounced, but most likely with church Latin pronunciation. ' In no-min-eh paw-tree et fee-lee spear-i-too sank-tay.' Oh, and Aquinas probably came up because of St. Thomas Aquinas who was a major figure in the early catholic church. Hope that helps!

You wrote it wrong.
It's: "In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti"
It is Latin and means: "In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit"

The pronunciations given here are O.K. for the way you have it, but the endings are all wrong that way. The endings should be genitive: "In nomine patris et filii et spiritus sancti."

That would be something like "In noh-mee-neh paht-rees et fee-lee-yee et spee-ree-toos sahnk-tee."

"In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit"
Pronounced kind of like:
Eeen nome-ee-nay pa-tree et fee-lee spee-ree-too sahnk-tee
(Sorry, that's the best I could come up with to type it.)
