An ordinary prayer with extraordinary power, Dr. Sri unpacks the Biblical background of the Sign of the Cross, the prayer that begins the Mass. He explains that whenever we cross ourselves and say, “In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit,” we’re calling on God’s presence and inviting him into our lives; a belief that goes all the way back to the early Church. We’re invited to slow down and rediscover the beauty and power of this prayer.
