Father, if you are willing, take this cup away from me; still, not my will but yours be done.He was in such agony and he prayed so fervently that his sweat became like drops of blood falling on the ground. Then Pilate took Jesus and had him scourged. From the sole of the foot to the head there is no sound spot: Wound and welt and gaping gash, not drained, or bandaged, or eased with salve. -The 1st Sorrowful Mystery

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

Answer by Rev. Mark J. Gantley, JCL on 11/2/2007:

There are no words to accompany this gesture.
