Do you cross yourself

I think too that we might look at the context of the whole article where this is found. And that it talks about the Christian name. To me it is more about how we dedicate our prayers and activities of the day to and in the name of the Father the Son and the Holy Spirit. As Christians; Catholic or otherwise we do this whether we physically bless ourselves or not. Does that make sense?

Makes sense to me 👍

I almost always cross myself before and after I pray, plus whenever I think it’s necessary. I like what another poster said about tSotC being a prayer in itself.
 
Hi all,
I love the fact that the sign of the cross is a prayer in itself.
Having said that, I am saddened when I see several of my fellow-parishioners make said sign in a very casual, and thereby, disrespectful manner.
I pray that they will change this poor habit.
God Bless,
Colmcille.
