The Communicator's Prayer

God and Father of all,

who from the beginning came to bring light and truth and love to man

by the Word, grant to us who deal with words and images

such a reverance for Thee that through careful and honest work,

we may keep the coinage of our language sound.

Give us humility to realize that we are called

not to be perfect but to be clear,

not to be infallible but to be fair.

Direct those who, in this our generation, speak where many listen,

who write what many read, and who show what many see,

that they may do their part in making the heart of our people wise,

its mind sound, and its will righteous.

Amen.
