A Prayer before Logging onto the Internet

Saint Isidore of Seville (c. 560 – 636) is the patron saint of computer technicians and Internet users. He was the Archbishop of Seville for more than three decades. A great scholar, he was the first Christian writer to compile a summa, or encyclopedia, of universal knowledge. It was cross-indexed, so it could be considered one of the first relational databases.
This prayer invoking St. Isidore is from Catholic Online:
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.
