When the internet goes down, NOW you know who to pray to

[packman]

The patron saint of the internet is widely considered to be Saint Isidore of Seville, a Bishop and scholar, who was nominated for the role by the late Pope John Paul II, although the Vatican has yet to make it official.

....

The website catholic.org suggests the faithful over a prayer to the Saint before logging onto the internet.


The prayer includes the line: "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."


And if that doesn't work, unplug the modem, wait 10 seconds and reconnect it
