THE BODY AND BLOOD OF CHRIST
During the following weeks, I am including what I call “A short summary to explain why Catholics believe
the way they do.” It is from a book by Gus Lloyd on “A Minute in the Church.” — Fr. Dennis
Sign of the Cross In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Why do Catholics make the sign of the cross? The sign of the cross has been used since the very earliest days of Christianity. We find writings from the Fathers of the Church as early as the second century. Early on, the cross was traced on the forehead with the thumb or forefinger. Over the centuries, the practice evolved to include marking the forehead, the breast and each shoul-der. It wasn’t until Pope Leo IX gave an instruction in the middle of the ninth century on making the sign of the cross that the practice became what it still is today. But the sign of the cross is far from just a rote gesture or superstition. The sign of the cross is used throughout the Liturgy and Sacraments. It is, at its essence, a blessing. When we enter the Church and make the sign of the cross with holy water, we bless ourselves and remember our baptismal promises. And we always begin and end our prayers with it. So, even if you’ve been making the sign of the cross all your life, don’t ever let it lose its meaning. Receive your blessing! In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit!
