Question from on 05-17-2007:


I am a cradle catholic, so sometimes when im asked a guestion about my
faith, i dont always know the answer. resently i was asked why we make
the sign of the cross.... i was stumped. i thought i knew, but i didnt
want to answer because i was not 100% sure. i felt silly. can you
please explain this to me, so i can answer this question. e.w.t.n. has
been envaluable to me as far as education. there is so much that i do
not know, but i feel w/ the help of e.w.t.n. that im am much more
informed today . thank you, kelly.


Answer by David Gregson on 06-01-2007:
The Sign of the Cross is an invocation of the
Blessed Trinity on the basis of Our Lord's Sacrifice on the cross. It
is His Sacrifice of Himself, in atonement for our sins, that merited
for us the priviledge of calling on God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,
to aid us in our need, and finally to bring us to everlasting life in
heaven.
