Youcat commented through CCC – Question n. 360.
(Youcat
answer) Through the Sign of the Cross we place ourselves under the protection
of the Triune God.
A deepening through CCC
(CCC 2166) The Christian begins his prayers and activities with
the Sign of the Cross: "in the name of the Father and of the Son and of
the Holy Spirit. Amen."
Reflecting and meditating
(Youcat comment) At the beginning of the day, at the
beginning of a prayer, but also at the beginning of important undertakings, a
Christian makes the Sign of the Cross over himself and thus starts his business
“in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit”. We are
surrounded on all sides by the Triune God; calling upon him by name sanctifies
the things we set out to do; it obtains blessings for us and strengthens us in
difficulties and temptations.
(CCC Comment)
(CCC 2157) The Christian begins his day, his prayers, and his
activities with the Sign of the Cross: "in the name of the Father and of
the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen." The baptized person dedicates the
day to the glory of God and calls on the Savior's grace which lets him act in
the Spirit as a child of the Father. The sign of the cross strengthens us in
temptations and difficulties.
