There is a monastery in Ireland that has hosted a daily online prayer for quite some time. To some, this might come across as unnecessary or perhaps even comical, but I think that there is a great need for this. So many people live at their computer terminals from 9 to 5, and then when they come home they plug back in on their PC or Blackberry. It is this audience that I think will benefit most from this exercise. After you click on the “Prayer for Today: English” link the site takes you through several meditative prayerful thoughts, allowing you the leisure to control your pace. It brings to mind things that perhaps you’ve neglected and ways in which you can increase in your devotion. This is no substitute for being still and being holy, but perhaps this can serve as the Nicotine patch for the grossly cyber-addicted.
