Summary
Is the sign of the cross simply the intro and outro of prayer? Or, is it something more than that? Jeff Cavins discusses the importance of the sign of the cross and explains how it is, in fact, a powerful prayer. By looking through both the Old and New Testament, Jeff helps provide a deeper understanding of what it means to pray in the name of God.
Snippet from the Show
Through the sign of the cross, we acknowledge God's presence, affirm that we are sealed by the Holy Spirit, and identify ourselves as belonging to God.
