Friends, I thought a clarification is in order! Making the Sign of Cross is NOT an "imaginary cross". I know you didn't mean it literally!!
However, sharing on the topic it's a fact, there is nothing more real or true than the Saving power of the Holy Cross. Cross was a device used to torture and punish. It was the symbol of Shame, Condemnation and Pain. Jesus' death on mine and your behalf on the Cross, made it a Saving Grace for us all. Therefore, each time we sign ourselves in the Name of the Father, of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, no matter how small or big the hassles that we confront, we will be saved. Because of the Power of the Real Cross!

I've experienced the 'power of the imaginary cross'. I remember when i was small my mum used to draw an imaginary cross on my forehead as well as my siblings before going to bed & later when we grew up we used to draw the same on each other's forehead. As Priya mentioned we really can experience the wonderful protection of our Saviour. Nice to know that JOYnet(sorry, WE) are celebrating our 4th birthday. Lets all praise God for this wonderful gift. Its really nice to be a part of God's own love community. PRAISE THE LORD!! Rubina John South Africa.

She opened the tap and before giving that to the baby she put an Imaginary Cross on it. I wondered and asked : "Why have you done that?" "Ohhh, Its simply to give protection to my kid" I too agreed, since I know well about Cochin corporation water. Days passed........ The way which I used to go to school was an area where we can find many street dogs. About dogs -I'm too much scared about this species. My fear of dog is proverbial, my friends and relatives used to tease me for that. Really an area where I needed inner healing :) There were many times these street dogs came near to me, blocked my way and even tried to lick my feet. I wanted to help myself out from these dogs but was helpless as there was no other option to reach school. After a week, somehow "The Imaginary Cross" of my friend came to my mind. I decided to try that method. Nextday, as I was going school I saw a dog coming from a distance. Yes the same one which excorted me the previous day to the school premises ; Suddenly I put an "Imaginary Cross" on its forehead. My friends you won't believe, that dog didn't disturb me that day. My confidence doubled and I began to use the same method every morning when I go to school. Now a days where ever I face problems or where ever I need protection or when ever I lack courage I put Imaginary Cross on my problems, on my things, and even on the other person.... Its very simple to draw an Imaginary Cross, but the confidence and protection it gives is immense. You too can try this method and find out the difference! Annie Berly, Thanks a lot for teaching me this wonderful method! Praise God!
