Social media can be a minefield for Catholics. Here's how to navigate it with grace.


The Challenge

Division

Social media divides. People attack. Conflict is constant.

Temptation

It's easy to argue, judge, and get angry.


The Solution

1. Don't Engage

When someone's attacking, don't reply. It's not worth it.

2. Speak Truth in Love

If you do engage, be gentle, truthful, and kind.

3. Limit Exposure

Don't spend hours scrolling. Set limits.

4. Use It for Good

Share good content—faith, inspiration, positivity.


A Prayer Before Posting

Lord, guide my words and actions online. Help me to bring light, not heat. Amen.


Conclusion: Be the Light

Use social media for good.

Lord, help me to be a light online. Amen.


Use social media wisely:
