✝️ WHY THREE SMALL CROSSES BEFORE THE GOSPEL?
Before the Gospel is proclaimed at Mass, Catholics make a small Sign of the Cross on the forehead, lips, and heart.
Each is a simple prayer:
✝️ Forehead: Lord, help me understand Your Word.
✝️ Lips: Lord, help me proclaim Your Word.
✝️ Heart: Lord, help me receive and live Your Word.
MIND • WORDS • HEART
It’s a beautiful reminder that the Gospel is meant not only to be heard, but to change how we think, speak, and live.
