Before each novena, in fact when I start to pray, I make the sign of the cross. You see a lot of athletes make this sign. Have you ever wonder what, if any words went with this action. Yes, it is a simple beautiful prayer.
You start with taking your right hand to the middle of your
forehead and say
IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER
Then you take your hand down to your heart and say
IN THE SON
and then from left shoulder to right shoulder you finish with
AND THE HOLY SPIRIT, AMEN
Your are giving the respect to God and asking for his blessing with this simple prayer which could almost be considered a novena in itself.
