Saint Roch

1295-1327

Feast day: August 16

Patronage: dogs, invalids, skin rashes, invoked against the plague and pestilence

Saint Roch was a French noble, orphaned at 20. Legend claims that he had a red cross birthmark on his chest. He gave all his possessions away and made a pilgrimage to Rome, where he cared for plague victims. When he contracted the disease himself, he retired to a woods to die. It is said that a dog befriended him, brought him bread and licked his wounds. A spring arose where he laid. He recovered and traveled back to France where he was imprisoned as a spy and died. It was then that he was identified as Roch because of the red cross on his chest. An archconfraternity of St. Roch still is active today.

The Sign of the Cross is one of Christianity's most ancient customs.

It is a sign of blessing and commitment to the Crucified Lord. Tertullian (c. 160 - 240), an ancient Christian writer in North Africa first mentions the Sign of the Cross: "We Christians wear out our foreheads with the Sign of the Cross."

A simple custom, it is a statement of Christian faith which incorporates the entire body. Like many ancient customs, it has been performed in a diversity of ways over the centuries. Current Orthodox Christian practice, used by all since the 17th century, involves combining the thumb, pointer, and middle finger while placing the ring finger and the pinky against the palm. The unity of the three fingers represents the unity of the undivided Trinity: Father, Son and Holy Spirit, three persons but one God. The two fingers pressed against the palm represent the two natures of Christ: human and divine. It indicates our belief in Jesus, who is fully God and fully human. Our motion, of course, recalls the cross: forehead, stomach, right shoulder and left shoulder, but also the God who is Trinity: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

As one moves through the sign, one recites, at the forehead, "In the name of the Father": at the navel, "and of the Son"; and across the shoulders, "and of the Holy Spirit, Amen." It is as if to say "I love you Lord with all of my mind (forehead), with all of my soul (navel), with all of my strength (right shoulder) and with all of my heart (left shoulder)." Done at various times as a sign of reverence, it is traditionally made before kissing an icon or the Gospel book; and during the Liturgy, whenever the Holy Trinity or the Virgin Mary is mentioned; before and after the Gospel is read; when lighting candles and during the creed. In short, few actions are so simple and yet symbolize so much of our Christian faith.

[apenitentialprayer]

As we bless ourselves with the sign of the cross we assert -even in the outward physical gesture- that we are personally united to the Passion of Christ. The blessing with which we begin [prayer] signifies that the cross of Jesus remains the source of every blessing in our lives. At the same time, by corporeally imaging Christ's cross, we affirm that our prayer is a sharing in Christ's sacrifice. It is our privilege to enter into that sacrifice with all our spirit, soul, and body. As we mark our bodies with the cross of Jesus, we speak the Name of God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The Catechism reminds us that a name expresses a person's essence, identity, and meaning of his life. We begin to pray, not in our own name, but in the Name of the Blessed Trinity in whom we find our truest identity and the authentic meaning in our life.

- Fr. Peter John Cameron, O.P. (Lord, Teach Us to Pray, page 10)
