How many times in a minute can you do the Sign of the Cross (the Catholic version)?

Question

If you weren't brought up Catholic:

(1.) Touch your forehead with your index finger.
(2.) Next, touch your index finger to the "heart". (A bit above your sternum, actually.)
(3.) Next, touch your left shoulder with your index finger.
(4.) Finally, touch your index finger to your shoulder.


Now time yourself, and see how many you can do in exactly 60 seconds. . . most interesting feedback wins the "10".

Answer 1

Spectacles, Testicles, Wallet and Watch - I managed to do this 17 times before I lost track of what time I had started ;-)

Answer 2

The Sign of the Cross is a prayer to God and should not be used in a contest.

I open my hand and touch my brow, and say,
"In the name of the Father"

Then I touch my heart with my hand, and say,
"and of the Son."

I touch my shoulders left and right, and say,
"and of the Holy Spirit"

I say,
"Amen."

The Sign of the Cross is
+ A statement of belief in the Holy Trinity
+ A statement of belief in and thanksgiving for Jesus' sacrifice on the Cross
+ God blessing us
+ Us Blessing God ("I will bless the Lord at all times")
+ A prayer using your entire body
+ A Bible quote (Matthew 28:19)

In Latin:

In nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti, Amen.

With love in Christ.
