A total of eleven Christian-themed wallpapers for the iPhone or iPod Touch are available for free at the Catholic Desktops website and about a hundred more at Inspiks.

I do not see iPhone wallpapers as nothing more than just colorful eye-candy, but as a source of inspiration and a medium of evangelization.  In his introduction to the Compendium of the Catechism of the Catholic Church dated March 20, 2005, the Cardinal who would become Pope Benedict XVI wrote:  ”… images are also a preaching of the Gospel… in a culture of images, a sacred image can express much more than what can be said in words, and be an extremely effective and dynamic way of communicating the Gospel message.”

I particularly like the free iPhone wallpapers offered by Catholic Desktops and Inspiks because they are not only beautiful and elegant but also inspirational and puts focus on God.

Whether you use an iPhone or have never seen a real one, these iPhone wallpaper designs will most likely move you to prayer and contemplation.
