The Power of the Sign of the Cross

Let us remember that each time we make the Sign of the Cross:

❖  We offer the Passion and Death of Jesus Christ to the Eternal Father;

❖  We thank Our Lord for dying for us on the Cross; and

❖  We offer the infinite merits of the Passion for our own souls and for the salvation of the world.

Each time we make the Sign of the Cross this way:

➢  we console the Heart of Jesus;

➢  we obtain pardon for our sins; and

➢  we help to save the world from great evils.
