Almighty and eternal God, who hast created us in Thy image and hast bidden 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, through the intercession of Saint Isidore, Bishop and Doctor, to direct our hands and eyes in our use of the internet to only that which is pleasing to Thee and treat with charity and patience all souls whom we encounter.
Pause here for the grace you are asking.
Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Our Father, who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
St Isidore of Seville, pray for us!
In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
