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

I always thought the St. Benedict medals were already blessed…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?

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.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.
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.Can anyone tell me where I can find the exorcism blessing that is placed in the St. Benedict Medal?
