Prayer for Program Planner: God who created all things, bless us as we share this Digital Scavenger Hunt with young adults. You have used Pope Francis to remind us that the Internet is a “gift from God.” Help us to use this important tool to deepen our faith and increase our spiritual knowledge. Amen.
