The Sign of the Cross

     The Baptism of the Lord, celebrated on Monday, January 9th, reminds us of the power of the sign of the cross. 
       Remember when you first jumped off the high drive? I do. I clung to the ladder with all my might as I went up. Then at the top, I moved slowly down the diving board, looking over the edge at the water. I had a few worries and fears. Then I made the sign of the cross, then jumped. I went straight into the water and to the bottom of the pool. It was exciting. It was unbelievable. Why did I make the sign of the cross? It gave me that little jolt of courage to know God was with me.    
     If there are times when you feel you need God’s grace and need Him to stand by you, in whatever you face, make the sign of the cross, and God will be with you.
