When you feel tired & disheartened, when you are tempted, when you are worried, make the sign of the Cross.
When your tongue gets you in trouble, make the sign of the cross on your lips, as you do at the Gospel.
When you feel lazy, make the sign of the cross on your heart.

The Sign of the Cross is a bridge which brings many graces and blessings from God to our souls. Satan is scared of the sign of the cross, because it reminds him of the victory of love which Jesus won on Calvary. The sign of the Cross makes the demons flee.
