Fr. Mike Schmitz explained in simple words why Catholics all over the world make the sign of the cross. Many Catholics absentmindedly make the sign of the cross without even knowing why we do it in the first place. I hope that after watching this video, we make the...

A small-C church represents the capital-C Church, the mystical body of Christ, the ongoing presence of Jesus in the world. So it’s no wonder that when we pass in front of a church, we nod, tip our hat, or do the Sign of the Cross. In New York, you’re doing it all over the place, because we have Catholic churches every two or three blocks – but I love it! The Good Newsroom

When we enter church – which we frequently do, I trust – we dip our finger in the holy water font and reverently make the Sign of the Cross. The beauty here is that when we dip our finger into the holy water and bless ourselves, we’re reminded of the first time we entered the family of the Church on the day of our Baptism!

If Jesus is risen and no longer on the Cross, why do Catholics still have Jesus on the Cross (the crucifix)? An interesting question from a follower here. First, the crucifix is cross with the body of Christ. The crucifix is not a denial of the Resurrection. Rather, it is a reminder of the sacrifice through which our salvation was won. As St. Paul says, “We preach Christ crucified” (1 Corinthians 1:23). Christianity is rooted in the saving love of Christ manifested on the Cross. By showing Christ crucified, the Church reminds us that our redemption came at the price of His suffering and self-giving love. Second, the cross without Christ is simply a piece of wood. It is the sacrifice of Jesus upon the cross that gives the Cross its essence and power. The crucifix therefore keeps before our eyes the price of our redemption. Third, the crucifix also emphasizes that the Eucharist is the same sacrifice of Calvary made present sacramentally. It is on this ground that a crucifix is required on or near the altar during Mass. It visually connects the celebration of the Mass with Christ’s sacrifice on the Cross. So, Catholics do not keep Christ on the Cross because He is still there; He is truly risen. We display the crucifix because the Cross is where our salvation was won. The empty tomb proclaims that Christ is risen; the crucifix reminds us how much He loved us.

Why was this symbol on Rudyard Kipling's books, and why was it removed? The Hakenkreuz is the hooked cross of Christ, and Hitler never referred to it as the swastika. After World War II, they very quickly started this propaganda to distance the fact that it was the hooked cross of Christ.

We’ve got another 10 days in this arm brace. Preston Lobliner has a fractured growth plate that he sustained at wrestling practice the day after winning state. Great news that it wasn’t worse! We haven’t missed a beat. He has gotten all of his workouts in and is doing a modified 5/3/1 split but doing it with one arm. Why one arm? Because it will make the other one stronger as well. A meta-analysis in The Journal of Sports Medicine found that unilateral resistance training leads to neural adaptations that carry over to the untrained side. This is called the cross-education effect. Hopefully this helps everyone understand why we are doing this!

“How do we make it look how the Flash Gordon looks to the imagination of baby boomers” is just an absurd train of thought. Why !? 😭 Why not make it look how YOU are inspired for it to look? Why must everything be so obsessed with the past.
