About St. Benedict Medals
What They Look Like
St. Benedict medals are part of rosaries, bracelets, chaplets, and Crucifixes. They contain symbols and text referring to the life of St. Benedict of Nursia. On one side is a cross surrounded by several letters. The other side shows St. Benedict holding two objects: a Cross and the book of The Rule of St. Benedict.
The Value of St. Benedict Medals
They are the most highly indulgenced medals in the Catholic Church. We ask for God’s blessing and protection through the intercession of St. Benedict. They are a prayer of rejection of all that is evil and a reminder that we take up our daily cross and follow Christ, our King. They are also a prayer of exorcism, a prayer for strength in times of temptation, a prayer for peace, and more. In Benedictine prayer, we empty ourselves to make room for the contemplative love of God.
About the Particular Blessing
A St. Benedict medal can be worn on a chain, or be part of a rosary, bracelet, chaplet, or Crucifix. To receive the spiritual benefits, we can arrange a blessing of a St. Benedict item with a priest (or deacon). He will use a book with specific prayers from the Roman Ritual.
