Last year, I saw a US Catholic Bishop interacting with his smart phone in a remarkable way.
Before he would unlock it, he would discretely cross himself and momentarily pray.
I did not ask him about this practice (I wish that I had!) but I wonder what his intention or petition was as he prayed.
What might a “prayer as one picks up their phone” sound like?
It’s not a bad idea given the amount of time our devices dominate our attention.
