Catholic Saint Saint Benedict Protection Medal Double-Sided Desktop Ornament Exorcism Wooden Relief Religious Gift

"It is well known that the intercession of St. Benedict has power and that our faith can unleash this power. This medal reminds us that we are protected by the power of Christ." The medal is one of the oldest and most revered medals used by Christians and is also known as the "Devil-Chasing Medal" due to the belief in its power against evil. It may have originally had the shape of St. Benedict's Cross and was used by Pope Leo IX as early as the 11th century. The reverse of the medal features the Vade vintage Satana ("Go away, Satan!"), which has been used by Christians to ward off evil since the 15th century. Sometimes carried as part of a rosary, it can also be found on its own. Catholics are not allowed to perform exorcisms, but they can do so using the Order of St. Benedict, holy water, crosses and other sacraments. The Medal of St. Benedict in the middle of the Celtic Cross was considered a powerful tool against evil influences. Whenever you use the Order or Cross of St. Benedict for these specific purposes, Tradition invites you to say the Five Passions, the Hail Mary three times, and the Lord's Prayer to St. Benedict . To enter deeper into the spirit of devotion, it is recommended to say these prayers daily.
