A prayer for the computer

Some people find it odd and uncomfortable to pray for their computers. Yet often, these same people will be charmed and edified by the old Scottish custom of praying over the milking bucket or the loom. If you are one of these folk, let us assure you that this is an ancient prayer from the Highlands which our ancestors used to pray whenever they would go on the internet. Please be charmed and edified by it.

Well of all Knowledge, bless my computer
Every work for which it is used
Every one who finds it useful

Preserve, O God, the software from corruption
Keep, O Christ, The hardware from harm
Sustain, O Spirit, a constant, steady flow of power

Protect it, St. Michael, from physical harm
Protect it, St. Arial, from storm and surge
Protect it, St. Gabriel, that no virus is sent or received

Operating system and applications,
documents and drivers
Hardrive and monitor;
printer, scanner and keyboard
And the flow of energy
to every part thereof

Creator of all, be creating beauty and good with my hands
Logos of creation, order my thoughts and my work
Spirit of inspiration, inspire all who see what I create

Watch, Virgin Mother and St. Columba, as I journey on the net
Blind, Pure Mary and St. Herve', my eyes from every evil
Return, Celestial Shepherdess and St. Christopher, me safe from the journey

With Mary Mother and all saints to keep me pure
With the Three and all angels to protect me
I will continue unharmed and unscathed
This day and always
I will continue unharmed and unscathed
This day and always
