Litany of Social Media

O Jesus, meek and humble of heart,

Hear me.

From the desire of receiving likes,

Deliver me, O Jesus.

From the desire of being considered influential,

Deliver me, O Jesus.

From the desire of gaining followers through my looks,

Deliver me, O Jesus.

From the desire of not following someone back who does not follow me,

Deliver me, O Jesus.

From the fear of not posting because of how I think others will view it,

Deliver me, O Jesus.

From the fear of losing followers,

Deliver me, O Jesus.

From the fear of not being seen in the right light,

Deliver me, O Jesus.

From the fear of being found boring,

Deliver me, O Jesus.

From the fear of being forgotten,

Deliver me, O Jesus.

From the fear of being seen insignificant,

Deliver me, O Jesus.

From the fear of comparison,

Deliver me, O Jesus.

That I want to pray more than scroll,

Jesus, grant me the grace to desire it.

That I trust that my worth is not defined by social media,

Jesus, grant me the grace to desire it.

That social media never gets in the way of me being a saint,

Jesus, grant me the grace to desire it.

That social media is never used as more than a tool,

Jesus, grant me the grace to desire it.

That I never let social media lead me to sin,

Jesus, grant me the grace to desire it.

That I trust your opinion of me above anyone else's,

Jesus, grant me the grace to desire it.

Amen.
