Stop for a moment.
Be still.
Know that our loving Father, God, is with you...
A Prayer for Web Surfers
Father,
you once led the children of Israel
through the sea - dry shod.
You showed the three Wise Men
the way to your Son by the guidance of a star.
Lord, I praise you for this wonderful world
and this great technology I am using now.
I ask of you this day
that I may use your gifts wisely and for good.
Lord, be with me on the web.
Be my inspiration and my guide.
After all my searching, and along the way,
may I find and know a little more
of your love and peace.
The Lord's Prayer
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.
Deliver us Lord from every evil, and grant us peace in our day. In your mercy keep us free from sin and protect us from all anxiety as we wait in joyful hope for the coming of our Saviour, Jesus Christ. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours, now and forever.
Nothing, then, must keep us back,
nothing separate us from him,
nothing come between us and him.
At all times and seasons,
in every country and place,
every day and all day,
we must have a true and humble faith,
and keep him in our hearts
where we must love, honour,
adore, serve, praise and bless,
glorify and acclaim, magnify and thank,
the most high and supreme eternal God,
Three and One, Father, Son and Holy Spirit,
Creator of all and Saviour of those who believe in him,
who hope in him, and who love him;
without beginning and without end,
he is unchangeable, invisible,
indescribable and ineffable,
incomprehensible, unfathomable,
blessed and worthy of all praise.
St Francis of Assisi
Rule of 1221
chapter XXIII
'...he got up from the table,
took off his outer robe
and tied a towel around himself.
Then he poured water into a basin
and began to wash the disciples' feet.'
John 13
