The Sign of the Cross
by Fr Léon Roger
Every great society possesses a distinctive mark by which its members are recognised. Every well-ordered army has a standard beneath which its soldiers rally. Similarly, the members of the society which is the Church must have a mark or a sign by which they may be recognised. This sign is the sign of the Cross. The standard beneath which the soldiers of Christ rally is the Cross.
This short but profound book looks at the sign of the Cross, first in itself: its historical origins, its composition, its dogmatic and moral significance. Then it examines the place of this sign in the Church’s liturgy. Finally, it focuses on the power of the sign of the Cross and its wonderful effects.
The author, Father Léon Roger, was Chaplain of the Basilica of Notre-Dame des Victoires in Paris at the beginning of the twentieth century.
Paperback, size 8" x 5.25", 100 pages
