The aims of the order are: Celebrate the beginning of Christ's Third Millennium. Honor St Isidore of Seville as the Patron Saint of the Internet. Promote the ideals of Christian Chivalry through the medium of the Internet. The Order makes no claims of antiquity nor does it have endless lists of protocols. Simply, it aims to instill in its members a Chivalric Code so as to be conscious of their duties as Christians and as Knights or Dames of the Order and so use the Internet in an appropriate manner. To that end the Order aims to provide them with the mental and spiritual armor to help claim the Internet for Christ. The Motto of the order is: Bono
Vince Malum As these aims of the order fit so well into my ideals and the purpose of my web site, and after investigating the structure of the order, I immediately applied to them for admission. The prime requirement for admission is the belief in the Nicene Creed. My knighthood was granted. Their website includes the Knight's Chapel which features the prayers of the hours. It is interesting to note that St. Julie's pastor, Fr. Steve Lanza would like to institute at our parish the practice of Morning Prayer, which is part of the Prayer of the Hours.
Prayer
before using the Internet: Almighty
and eternal God, who
has created us in Thy image and
bade us to seek after all that is good, true and beautiful, especially
in the divine person of
Thy only-begotten Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, grant
we beseech Thee that, through
the example of Saint Isidore, bishop and doctor, during
our journeys through the internet we
will direct our hands and eyes only
to that which is pleasing to Thee and
treat with charity and patience all
those souls whom we encounter. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
