1. Be positive and joyful. Have a sense of humour. As Pope Francis says, no "funeral faces" or "sourpusses". 2. Strictly avoid aggression and preachiness; try not to be judgmental or polemical - there is enough of this online already. 3. Never bear false witness on the internet. 4. Remember 'Ubi caritas et amor'. Fill the internet with charity and love, always giving rather than taking. 5. Have a broad back when criticisms and insults are made - when possible, gently correct. 6. Pray in the digital world. Establish sacred spaces, opportunities for stillness, reflection and meditation online.
7. Establish connections, relationships and build communion. The scandal of disunity among Christians can be easily exploited and exaggerated. Therefore we must seek to share resources so that we can have a powerful Gospel witness. Wouldn't it be wonderful if people started noticing online: "See how these Christians love one another." 8. Educate our young to keep themselves safe and to use the internet responsibly. 9. Witness to human dignity at all times online. Seek, as Pope Benedict once said, to "give a soul to the internet". 10. Be missionary; be aware that with the help of the internet, a message has the potential to reach the ends of the earth in seconds.
