Virtual blessings

The Catholic Church of Montreal in Canada has launched a campaign to offer their blessings to online users on their website.  

The concept is simple, just visit www.beblessed.ca. 

Taking a cue from popular phone designs, users must make the sign of the cross on the screen, and the blessing from the archdiocese will appear.

The blessings are based on the Urbi et Orbi messages issued by Popes. 

The archdiocese says the goal is to reach younger generations. 

The site is available in French, English and Spanish.
