- 2. Lord of all our hopes, you are the Living One who conquered death and sent your Spirit to renew all things. You guide the way of all men and women who journey through history, and you sustain the commitment of all those who participate in the creative work of renewing the universe. We offer you, Lord, the joys and successes of all your children committed to the various fields of media. We present their constant search for you so that they may proclaim you in truth, justice, freedom, and love. Lord, guide those who use the various media arts to open new horizons of hope, of true life, of solidarity, of communication, and of communion. With hope we look forward to a new world, which you call us to build through our work as evangelizers. We pray that our efforts may contribute to building a world of peace and unity. God of salvation, love, and hope, enfold all who search for you in your most tender embrace. Amen. —from Live Christ!
