There are many spiritual benefits associated with a devout use of the Saint Benedict Medal such as healing, protection from the devil, the grace of preparing for a holy death...
The Medal is however not a talisman used to resolve your problems, but a means to help you overcome them. The words around the cross are essentially those that Benedict spoke in response to the devil’s temptation. We can embrace these words with faith, knowing that the cross of Christ is the pledge of our victory and salvation.
The Medal is a sacramental medal of the Catholic Church, a sacred sign from which help is obtained, thanks to the prayer of the Church.
To obtain the benefits of this prayer, it is not sufficient to have it blessed, nor wear it as a lucky charm: the benefits we hope to obtain are proportional to our growing faith in God and the intercession of Saint Benedict.
This book also contains a Novena to Saint Benedict.
