Remaining Within Our Focus
Focusing on Christ and His Message
It is very important for the Catholic webauthor to remain within the focus
of the Catholic Internet mission and not to lose sight of the goal to make
Christ central in the Catholic mission and not to make himself the center.
There is a grave danger of losing this focus when one forgets the original
goal of the Catholic internet mission and get carried away by the "race to
the top" in search-engine rankings. As long as the "race to the top"
is within the spirit of making Christ central in the Internet, then it
is within the scope of the mission. The Catholic webauthor must never
forget that the Catholic Internet mission belongs to the Holy Spirit
and not to himself. He does not own the mission. He is only its steward
and instrument. If he forgets this very basic fact and truth, then when
he achieves a high rank from the production of his webauthored work, he
will surely lose the Spirit and be filled instead with the spirit of
"self-centered ends". When this happens, the Catholic webauthor must
by all means redivert the direction he is heading towards what should
really be - a direction that focuses on Christ and His gospel. To do
this, much self-awareness is necessary in order to detect and to discern
what spirit is leading the Catholic webauthor. It is he himself who can
also see what fruit came out of his mission. If the fruit bears a certain
distaste for anything spiritual, then the Catholic internet mission is
really not of the Spirit. It does not deserve to be called Catholic,
nor should it deserve to be called a mission. However, if the fruit
of the mission is one of constant attention to the Spirit, a certain
vigilance as to what can veer oneself from the right focus, and a profound
peace that comes from a success obtained and seen as realized by its being
a gift of the Spirit, then the mission truly deserves to be called Catholic
internet mission.
