THE SIGN OF THE CROSS is who we are as followers of Christ. Sometimes when something is repeated over and over and over again, it loses its meaning. Such could be the case with the Sign of the Cross. For us as Catholic Christians, it should be a reverent prayer, one to be reflected upon as we make the sign and say the most holy words: “In the Name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen”… (which means, “I Believe.”)
