St. Isidore of the Internet
Now, he’s a “proposed” Saint. How do you do that? Do they have a little wooden box at the Vatican that you can fill with ideas?
Saint Isidore of Seville Sanctus Isidorus Hispalensis
Proposed Patron Saint of Internet Users
(c.560 - 636)
A Prayer before Logging onto the Internet and the Catholic Online Forum (which is where i found this.)
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

I’m afraid what a priest’s “laptop” looks like. I’m sure there’s lots of “pop-ups” about altar boys!
