The Cross and Medal of Saint Benedict: A Mystical Sign of Divine Power

The spiritual wisdom of Saint Benedict has endured for centuries and quite literally shaped Western culture from its inception. Tenets of the order, like its motto and Saint Benedict’s Rule, are just as influential for lay people as they are for the Benedictine monks and nuns.
The cross and medal of St. Benedict is also among the gifts bestowed by the Benedictine Order. For centuries, it has been a conduit for God’s power against malicious spirits.  The history of this cross and medal—how it first came about, how it was used, miracles attributed to its use—was not easily apparent, nor readily accessible. However, this book successfully delineates the history, theology, and potency of the cross and medal of St. Benedict.
Drawing from a number of ancient and reliable sources, Fr. Robert Nixon has compiled, translated, and edited a most powerful book on the cross and medal of St. Benedict. With this book, you’ll learn from various saints and holy men as the history of St. Benedict’s cross and medal unfolds.
In doing so, you will learn about the life and legend of St. Benedict, the Father of Western Monasticism, who established the most ancient religious order. Sancte Benedicte, ora pro nobis!


St. Benedict Home Blessing 

The St. Benedict Home Blessing is a powerful way to benefit from the sacramental use of the St. Benedict Jubilee Medal, one of the most beloved sacramentals of the Church. The highly indulgenced medal features several exorcism prayers etched onto its surface, and is traditionally used to bless and protect homes and property. These corded medals feature eight strands of ivory, brown, black and white cording, joined together with an image of the Patron Saint known for protection from curses, evil and vice. Ornamental knots and wooden beads accent the piece. Jubilee Medals and the St. Benedict Crucifix hang from three of the strands, and a loop at the top allows you to hang the blessing cord from a door knob, car mirror, or anywhere you please.
Ask your priest to bless it and it becomes an even more powerful sacramental. Give as a housewarming gift, wedding or anniversary gift, or display it in your own home or car to invoke the protection of this powerful saint for your loved ones and yourself.
