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.
