Hmmm... the Vatican is certainly getting the bill of the new computer screen after the other got blessedly wet.

I've thought about doing the same thing, except I'd throw rocks instead of holy water.

Fr. Jay Toborowsky,

Well, he's been blessing my computer screen for three years - changeable background photos ... he is a blessing.

Of course Lady Liberty was holding a torch, and Papa Benedict holds the Living Water, nice contrast. "When you find a spark of knowledge, water it." or something like that, hee hee

My computer's certainly not acting like it just got blessed by the Pope.

Elizabeth,

That must be because it's Protestant. ;-)

If David B.'s right, Elizabeth, you might need some more water. If you've got a Protestant computer (a mac, maybe?), you should try full-immersion baptism.

Well, if it's Protestant, you might want to confirm an a valid baptism and then for conversion, it would need to make a Profession of Faith ... maybe a marquee? "I believe all that the Holy Catholic Church believes and teaches to be revealed by God."

Gee, that wouldn't be a bad marquee screen saver for all of us ... hm?

Wholly and Linda,

Awesome! :-D

I don't know about my computers, but I was sprinkled as a baby and immersed as a teen. (I had issues.) Yes I am a Protestant, but always the Tiber beckons. Who is the patron saint of computers, may I ask?
Panda Rosa | 05.13.08 - 11:31 pm | #

The patron saint for the computers and the internet is St. Isidore of Seville. See this story in Christianity Today: http://www.christianitytoday.com.../3-26- 24.0.html
