Thoughtfully, the Catholic church has provided some words to Saint Isidore whenever we everythingians feel a little lost, are looking for inspiration, or have run across a node that makes us cringe.
Like anyone here ever runs out of things to say.
Prayer Before Logging Onto the Internet
and Before using the Catholic Online Forum
Almighty and eternal God,
who created us in Thy image
and bade us to seek after all that is good, true and beautiful,
especially in the divine person
of Thy only-begotten Son, our Lord Jesus Christ,
grant we beseech Thee that,
through the intercession of Saint Isidore, bishop and doctor,
during our journeys through the internet
we will direct our hands and eyes
only to that which is pleasing to Thee
and treat with charity and patience
all those souls whom we encounter.
Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
And in Latin...
Orátio ante colligatiónem in rete contexto
necnon in Foro Catholico
Omnípotens aetérne Deus,
qui secúndum imáginem Tuam nos plasmásti
et omnia bona, vera, pulchra,
praesértim in divína persóna Unigéniti Fílii Tui
Dómini nostri Iesu Chrísti,
quaérere iussísti, praesta quaésumus ut,
per intercessiónem Sancti Isidóri, Epíscopi et Doctóris,
in peregrinatiónibus per rete contéxtum,
et manus oculósque ad quae Tibi sunt plácita intendámus
et omnes quos convenímus cum caritáte ac patiéntia accipiámus.
Per Christum Dóminum nostrum. Amen.
