Fr. Jack Kolodziej, OSFS, on The Sign og the Cross and God's Love for Us

". . .This weekend the Church will celebrate Trinity Sunday. The liturgy proclaims the mystery of our faith in One God in Three Divine Persons. Many preachers will focus on the relationship of the Triune-God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. As Christians, we are part of the life of God and share in this special relationship, this special mission. Before He ascended into heaven, Jesus commissioned His followers to go out into the world and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them 'in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19).' In other words, Jesus tells us that we are to be signs of the relationship that God shares within the Trinity and with us.

"In one of the pamphlets he wrote to explain the faith, St. Francis de Sales wrote about the sign of the cross as a powerful reminder of the love of God. . . ."

In a recent commentary based on the writings of St. Francis de Sales, Father Jack Kolodziej, OSFS, reflected on the importance of using the sign of the cross "before many tasks, not just before formal prayer. In this way, every action, every moment becomes a prayer and an offering to God."
