The sign of the cross.

Living the Gospel this week. The sign of the cross.

Just a quick reminder this week about the power of the sign of the cross. Some of us have been shy to do the sign of the cross in public places or even in some other circumstances. If only you consider this simple sign to be the shortest but the strongest expression of your faith, you will change your attitude.

First, the sign of the cross is our profession of our Faith. God is Father, Son and Holy Spirit. That is our identity.

Second, the sign of the cross is our protection. It is our weapon and our shield against the enemies.

Finally, the sign of the cross is a short form of prayer. Let’s not be ashamed to do the sign of the cross. It is the sign of our salvation. It is a sign of love, which always demands sacrifice. No wonder St. John Paul II said: “Do not be afraid, then, when love makes demands. Do not be afraid when love requires sacrifice”

In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Jesus, I trust in you.
