Leader of Ireland's Roman Catholics urges prayer by Twitter

Cardinal Sean Brady, the leader of Ireland's Roman Catholics, has urged social network users to start sending daily prayers by text,

Twitter or e-mail. The Primate of All Ireland and Archbishop of Armagh said: ‘Make someone the gift of a prayer through text, twitter or e-mail every day. Such a sea of prayer is sure to strengthen our sense of solidarity with one another and remind those who receive them that others really do care.' He told followers to turn off their televisions, computers and mobile phones in order to pray more effectively. He was speaking as he unveiled a statue of Father Patrick Peyton, the man known as the ‘rosary priest' because of his work to promote the saying of the rosary by families together. ‘He attracted the support of many famous film stars along the way. I am sure if there had been mobile phones in his day Father Peyton would have been into texting and Twitter!'

 

Pray:

for those who can use new means to promote intercessory prayer and for those who may receive it. (Phi.4:6)
