A Prayer for Computers
Most Reverend Richard J. Sklba, Auxiliary Bishop of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee
Bless again this day the mysterious computer
which awaits your power and my human effort.
Grant wisdom, knowledge and a clear memory to my mind
as I sit before this new creature of your infinite power.
Bless my heart with endless patience whenever needed.
Guide my hands that I may be your faithful servant in every key I press.
Enable my limited efforts to bring glory to your Name
and blessings to your people everywhere.
Delete me not from your Kingdom
and save me from all fear and from all error of sin and ignorance.
I whisper this prayer, mindful of the needs of all with whom and for whom I work,
through the power of your Word and the life-giving energy of your Spirit.
Join the collaborative effort at CREST 2019-2020 to advance computer science education in Catholic schools. Explore goals, engage in activities like card sorting for teaching reasons, and delve into the importance of computer science. Strengthen instructional skills and community bonds in this enriching session.
