PRAYER FOR INTERNET USERS

Spirit of Pentecost
We entrust to you all visitors to our websites:
both regular and occasional visitors,
those who live near and those who live far away
people known and unknown to us,
Christians from different denominations
people of other faiths,
unbelievers and those who are seeking God.

 You, Spirit, Giver of seven gifts,
give to each one what is needed,
and give special help to those who manage this site
In the service of the catholicity of their Church.
 

Spirit of wisdom,
Help us to make of our sites
a haven of peace, a place of quality,
where something of the Gospel shines for all who log on
and where the disciples of the Resurrected One find
something to nourish their faith, enliven their hope and increase their love.
 

Spirit of intelligence
Make the scales fall from our eyes
and teach us the art of discernment
in this world that God loves.
 

Spirit of counsel,
Give us clarity in our discussions and guide us
Along the path of the greatest love.

Spirit of fortitude,
give us the daring of explorers on the ocean of the web
and the courage to risk sharing a word of faith.
 

Spirit of knowledge,
Give us the love of your holy name,
The humility of those who know that they are sinners,
and the humour of those who love in an intelligent way
without taking themselves too seriously.
 

Spirit of fraternal love
Give us the peace filled joy of those
who, no matter what happens,
know that they are loved by the Father.
 

Spirit of adoration,
Help us to contemplate your action in the world
and in the life of each one.
