The Sign of the Cross in the Nineteenth Century

A man entered a secular university where Freedom of Religion reigned. Following his custom of making the Sign of the Cross before and after meals immediately caught his fellow student's attention, then their derision and ridicule. This book came as the answer to his question about the power of the Sign of the Cross. In the pagan Twenty-First Century, we need the Sign of the Cross even more than this pious young man did in the Nineteenth. In one of the letters Fr. Gaume discusses how the world was before it learned how to make the Sign of the Cross, and how it is becoming now that it no longer makes the Sign of the Cross. This work also demonstrates that fact that the Sign of the Cross goes back to Old Testament times as is also demonstrated in the work 'How Christ Said the First Mass'.
