General Description:

The Sign of the Cross
by Bert Ghezzi

This inspiring volume by acclaimed writer Bert Ghezzi will help you to reclaim the life-transforming power and blessing of the ancient prayer known simply as the sign of the cross.

Bert Ghezzi makes an astounding claim for the sign of the cross: This simple, familiar gesture is actually a powerful prayer. When we trace it on our body, we stir up the new life of the Spirit that we received in baptism. We affirm our identity as Christians, resist the lure of evil, join ourselves with Christ, and engage the power of the Holy Spirit to deal with daily problems.

All these blessings can be ours when we make the sign of the cross with prayerful respect and intelligent understanding of what it signifies. Bert Ghezzi explains how you can receive immeasurable blessings by making this ancient sign a gateway to a renewed experience of God.

SOMETIMES AS I SIGN MYSELF I IMAGINE THAT I HAVE traveled back in time to Calvary. With Mary, Mary Magdalen, and John, I stand at the foot of the cross as a witness to the Lord's supreme sacrifice. I watch him die a horrific death out of love for me. Then a soldier pierces his side and a flood of graces flows from his heart. I am engulfed in unimaginable blessings. With this book I encourage you to join me at his cross. Come with me to Golgotha, where you also will discover the life-transforming power of the holy gesture and open yourself more fully to its wonderful graces. —from the introduction

^{"Bert Ghezzi has placed the jewel of the prayer of the sign of the cross in a setting that reveals its beauty, inspiration, and holy energy.^"

—Fr. Alfred McBride, O.Praem., author of Essentials of the Faith and Images of Jesus^{"Don^'t let the size of this book fool you! Though brief in pages, it is long on wisdom and insight. Thank you, Bert Ghezzi, for deepening my own experience of praying the sign of the cross!^"}
--Johnnette S. Benkovic, founder of living His Life Abundantly" and Catholic Women of Grace', host of The Abundant Life television program seen on EWTN
