Prayer for Film, Radio, and Television

We praise and bless you, Jesus Master, for having enlightened the human mind to discover the audiovisual media of the film, radio, and television. Their mission is an apostolate: the education and the material and spiritual advancement of all persons and society.
You created everything for us, as we are for Christ. May these inventions, too, sing your glory as Creator and Savior.

p. 249

Let us not give in to temptation, O Lord; deliver us from the danger of misusing the gifts you have given us with such wisdom and love.
Lead those responsible for these media to work with charity and respect for human dignity. May they always sow the seed of good wheat and keep watch so that the enemy may never sow weeds. Enlighten all listeners and spectators to seek the fonts of living water and to abhor the stagnant wells.
To atone for those who misuse these media, we offer you, together with our daily work, all the holy Masses celebrated today throughout the world. We promise always to use audiovisual media for our sanctification and for the apostolate.
Jesus Master, through the intercession of Mary, Queen of the Apostles, and of St. Paul the Apostle, grant that through these media the world may come to know you as the Way and Truth and Life of humanity.
