Experience with St. Benedict Medal?

[HabemusFrancis]

I recently decided to purchase a St. Benedict medal. From what I read it appears to be one of the most powerful Catholic sacramentals which wards off witchcraft, poison, demons and other ill fortune. Talk about one stop shopping!!

Has anyone used a St. Benedict medal, or does anyone have any personal stories/testimonies about them?

Much appreciated thanks!

Should they be blessed by a Benedictine priest? That’s what I heard… Mine is on my scapular and I just got it blessed by my parish priest for now. I don’t know a Benedictine priest around here.

Any Priest may bless it.

Yes, the St. Benedict medal can very effective in warding off the demonic, especially if it has been exorcised as well as blessed. Be sure to look up the older prayers and bring them to a priest.

Best bet, bring it to an FSSP priest; they will know exactly what to do, without fail.

Otherwise, if you don’t have one available, print out the exorcism and blessing and have your local priest use it.

I always wondered about the medal that came with my scapula … now I know it is a St. Benedict medal and am very pleased to have it … thank you for making this thread.

I heard from the own lips of a faithful Catholic who brought this medal into an occult store, and when it was placed among the merchandise - the items toppled over and some broke!

If I ever set foot in an occult store, I would be wearing the St. Benedict medal, along with my Crucifix, the Blessed Mother and St. Michael the Archangel.

Indeed, it was my first medal as part of my first rosary I got during my first contact with the Catholic Church. I have suffered much from ‘forces’ trying to sway me from the path; I can only presume this is because I spent most of my life in occultism and now that I have seen the light need to be ‘discouraged’.

If I feel in danger, and I have done the usual; pray Hail Mary’s and Our Father’s, I can only presume it is a combination of faults with myself that I lack faith maybe, because clutching the st.Benedict medal of my rosary have thus far helped the most, or should I say ended it.

Mine was blessed by the local parish priest, I have no idea if that has any bearing, but I presume it does.
I don’t really want to deepen my knowledge about “spiritual warfare” because I think my priest said it best; “never battle the dark ones alone, you will always loose, you can only win by going thru Jesus, turn to him and don’t pay attention to those things in your periphery, ignore them.”

I think there is power to the medal of St Benedict, I can only make guesses as to how that works, but it seems like it thru my own subjective experiences at least.
