St. Benedict's Medal

Front of the St. Benedict Medal.

Reverse of the St. Benedict Medal.

Yesterday was the feast day of St. Benedict: the Father of Western Monasticism. Check out this page for info on this popular Sacramental. I once had a crucifix with the Benedict Medal on both sides of it. The cross was wood, and a small Jesus poking off of it... don't have it any more, but I do have a Benedict Medal attached to a string, with various other medals, including the Mirculous Medal and my Patron Saint, St. Stanislaus Kostka.

Here's the link to read more on this medal!

    Thanks for sharing this information. Wearing a medal of St Benedict seems a great idea. But I just wonder if what does those words written on it means?

    I've just moved house, so pretty busy at the moment... no Internet connection other than the local library. But I will post a new entry sometime when I have the chance to explain what all the letters mean :-)

    God Bless,
    Davie.
