Can anyone tell me where I can find the exorcism blessing that is placed in the St. Benedict Medal? Also, does anybody know if Deacon’s can perfom it?

Thanks
 
not sure where you can find the text of the prayer, but I’d suggest maybe doing an online search. As far as getting the medal blessed with the exorcism prayer, it’s my understanding that only a Benedictine priest can do that.

God bless.

I always thought the St. Benedict medals were already blessed…
 
Only priests may perform it. I have it in pamphlet form but, I’ll type it here (just pray for me?)

v:Our help is in the name of the Lord
R:who made heaven and earth

In the name of God the Father + almighty who made heaven and earth, the seas and all that is in them, I exorcise these medals against the powers and attacks of the evil one.May all who use these medals devoutly be blessed with health of soul and body.In the name of the Father + almighty, of his Son + Jesus Christ our Lord and of the Holy + Spirit the Paraclete, and in the love of the same Lord Jesus Christ who will come on the last day to judge the living and the dead and the world by fire R: Amen

V:Let us Pray.Amighty God, the boundless source of all good things, we humbly ask that, through the intercession of St Benedict you pour out your blessings + upon these medals.May those who use them devoutly and earnestly strive to perform good works and be blessed by you with health of soul and body, the grace of a holy life and remission of the temporal punishment due to sin. May they also, with the help of your merciful love, resist the temptations of the evil one and strive to exercise true charity and justice toward all so that one day they may appear sinless and holy in your sight. This we ask through Christ our Lord R:Amen

The medals are ten sprinkled with holy water.

Pax, please pray for me, ask the priest that blesses them to pray for me…So many assignments
 
The whole reason I was asking is because I found this site:osb.org/gen/medal.html
If you look near the bottom of the page where it says “Approved Blessing of the Medal of St. Benedict”, under that in the small print it says “Medals of Saint Benedict are sacramentals that may be blessed legitimately by any priest or deacon – not necessarily a Benedictine (Instr., 26 Sept. 1964; Can. 1168)”
Just wanted to double check on here first.

My understanding is that it was once required that the special blessing for the Benedictine medal be made by an actual Benedictine. That requirement has since been removed, as is stated above.

these medals and crosses usually come with a pamphlet that contains the excorcism and explains the letters and symbols on the medal, I will dig thru my stuff and try to find it to post later today. The particular blessing with the excorcsim can only be given by a Benedictine priest, although a deacon can bless it with the same blessing given to any other sacramental.
