26. A profound bow of the head (and slight inclination of the shoulders) is made

at the Gloria Patri;

at the Sit nomen Domini benedictum;

at the name of Jesus;

at the last strophe of the Hymns.

A medium bow of the head (head only) is made as often as the name of Mary occurs.

A minimum bow of the head (slight inclination) is made at mention of the names of the Saints commemorated.

27. The Sign of the Cross is made in the ordinary way whilst saying

(1) Deus in adjutorium; (2) at the beginning of the Canticles Magnificat, Benedictus, and

Nunc Dimittis; (3) at the end of Compline in saying Benedicat et custodiat, etc.

It is made with the thumb on the lips whilst saying Aperi, Domine, and Domine, labia mea aperies; and

it is made on the heart whilst saying Converte nos at the beginning of Compline.
