Signs of Cross before Gospel

Question from von on 11/2/2007:

A friend of mine asked if we say anything while we make the sign of the Cross on our foreheads, lips and heart before the Gospel is read. She is Hispanic and she asked if we say anything special in english.

Thanks

There are no words to accompany this gesture.
