When we cross ourselves in church, we are not doing a small routine gesture. We are bowing before God. The sign of the cross is a tiny prostration that teaches the heart to worship with humility. It brings the mind back to prayer, reminds us of the Holy Trinity, and shapes how we stand before the Lord. In this episode we look at why the body matters in worship and how this simple movement draws us deeper into the love of Christ.
