VERITAS: THE TRUTH ABOUT MEDIA AND TECHNOLOGY DR. JIM COYLE MARCH 25, 2012
PRAYER TO THE ARCHANGEL GABRIEL You Angel of humanity, you trusting messenger of God, open our ears also for the quiet warnings and calls of the most loving Heart of Jesus! Always be in front of our eyes, we beg you, that we understand the Word of God correctly, that we follow, obey and ful鍖ll that which God wants of us! And assist us in staying awake for when the Lord comes to get us so that He does not 鍖nd us asleep! Amen.

CHURCHS ATTITUDE TOWARD MEDIA & TECHNOLOGY MEDIA TECHNOLOGIES ARE GIFTS FROM GOD.

COMMUNICATORS BREATHE LIFE INTO THE DIALOGUE THAT HAPPENS WITHIN THE FAMILY OF MAN. IT IS THEY WHO PRESIDE WHILE THE EXCHANGE PROCEEDS AROUND THE VAST ROUND TABLE THAT THE MEDIA HAVE MADE.

A STILL PLACE IN THE MARKET "Be still and acknowledge that I am God" (Psalm 46:10).These are words to take with us in our busy lives. We may think about stillness in contrast to our noisy world.But perhaps we can go further and keep an inner stillness even while we carry on business, teach, work in construction, make music, or organise meetings. It is important to keep a still place in the "marketplace."This still place is where God can dwell and speak to us.It also is the place from where we can speak in a healing way to all the people we meet in our busy days.Without that still space we start spinning.We become driven people, running all over the place without much direction.But with that stillness God can be our gentle guide in everything we think, say, or do. - Henri Nouwen, 1997

AT THE END OF THE DAY, MEDIA IS ABOUT STORYTELLING
A PRAYER FOR THE MEDIA BY THE SOCIETY OF ST. PAUL Father, in a world deafened by a cacaphony of sounds, may all be able to hear your whispering voice. We ask this 鍖rst of all for ourselves, men and women dedicated to the Sacred Scriptures and the teaching of the Church, who must communicate your truth, Father, in a world that would prefer to hear lies. Secondly, we ask this for all who work in media, the press, radio, television, theatre and the internet. May they cherish truth more strongly than their own prejudices and personal agendas. May they present truth in a way that will enlighten hearts rather then in鍖ame passions and con鍖ict. We ask this Father, in the name of your Son, our Divine Master, the Way, the Truth and the Life, who lives and reigns gently with you, and the Holy Spirit, one loving God, forever and ever. Amen.
