Communications Prayer for those Working in Diocesan and Parish Communications 

Holy Spirit,
you blessed the first disciples
with the power to spread God’s love
throughout the world. 

Give me a new power to proclaim your word
through my own unique gifts
and through the channels of clear communications.

Make me wiling to receive that word
as it enters my daily life. 

Bless all who use their talents
in the field of communications. 

Guide those who send out the message
and those who receive it,
so that all people
may come to know your truth
and be renewed by your love.  
We ask this through
Jesus Christ, Our Lord.

Amen 

Pope’s Prayer for Communications 

Lord, teach us to move beyond ourselves,
and to set out in search of truth.

Teach us to go out and see,
teach us to listen,
not to entertain prejudices
or draw hasty conclusions.

Teach us to go where no one else will go,
to take the time needed to understand,
to pay attention to the essentials,
not to be distracted by the superfluous,
to distinguish deceptive appearances from the truth.

Grant us the grace to recognise your dwelling places in our world
and the honesty needed to tell others what we have seen.
