Our Queenslander, Ella, is currently in Darwin competing in the National U12 Cricket titles. Her Queensland White team has had a win against the ACT, a loss to a strong NSW team and lost to VIC in a heartstopper that was decided in the 40th over. Ella is having a great competition, and we wish her all the best in her final game against the NT to play off for 5th position.
Congratulations also to Zachary and Brittany Harris (Miss Hinz), who were recently married. We wish them a lifetime of love and happiness.
Every time we bless ourselves or begin prayer with the sign of the cross, we reaffirm our belief in the Trinity. That seemingly simple prayer, ‘In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit,’ is, in fact, a confirmation of our belief in a triune God – three in one. The earliest use of the sign of the cross only involved tracing a small cross with the thumb or finger on the forehead, as it is still done in baptisms or blessings today. Later, describing the shape of the cross on the forehead, abdomen, and shoulders became the common practice.
