The priest makes the sign of the cross on the gospel book as a sign of reverence and to ask for God's blessing before proclaiming the gospel, which is the Good News of Jesus Christ.

This is followed by both Matthew and Luke, which are more or less directly dependent on Mark. It is in John's Gospel that we find Jesus carrying the cross all the way to the site of his crucifixion - John 19:17.
