"I believe that if our signs of the cross were always made as if in the presence of God, rather than as if we were chasing away flies, they would open for us the heart of God. Each sign of the cross brings us nearer to God. For each sign of the cross well made, there is one added degree of eternal glory. Each sign of the cross made with devotion deposits within your heart another degree of love, which you would not have had without it."
-- Fr Almire Pichon, SJ

A note of thanks for recent posts... "thanks :)"
I love the pictures with these wise words. I will try to take my time in praying the sign of the cross instead of merely chasing flies!
I think we sometimes forget that the sign of the cross is a prayer. I have done my share of fly chasing as well.
Thanks and God bless!
