the catholic church does not reject people who had commited suicide. though suicide is a sin it doesnt literally means that the person who commited the act goes directly to hell. the catholic church acknowledge that he/she have grave physcological disturbances and therefore (may) not be responsible for the act. the church (prays) for the salvation of the soul for the person who commited the act.
The official guideline which I assume and only appropriate is :
- using the right hand
- Starting with the forehead( In the name of the Father )
- Next is the lower/mid part of the body ( and of the Son )
- Left shoulder ( the Holy )
- Right shoulder ( Spirt )
- Hand together ( Amen )
When I said I prefer to kiss the thumb cross with the pointing finger , it is my personal form of REVERENCE na lang .
The reason why I see it as only appropriate because daghan mga inamaw naga buhat ug pagpanguros na left hand gamiton , manguros without touching the forehead , lower / mid chest / shoulders etc .

It also more fully expresses an important theological point. When we said, “And also with you” in the older translation, one might get the impression that our response was merely intended to express an exchange of personal greetings or reciprocal good will: “May the Lord be with you, too, Father.”
But there is much more to this response. When a man is ordained a priest, the Holy Spirit comes upon him in a unique way, enabling him to perform the sacred rites of the Mass and consecrate the Eucharist. By responding, “And with your spirit,” we acknowledge the Spirit’s activity through the priest during the Sacred Liturgy. We are referring to the “spirit” of the priest, the very core of his being, where he has been ordained to offer the sacrifice of the Mass. Indeed, we are acknowledging that while God works through the priest who is offering the Mass, ultimately it is Jesus Christ who is the head of the community gathered for the Liturgy, and it is his Spirit who is the primary actor in the Liturgy, regardless who the particular priest celebrating Mass may be.
