[Sirach14]

How many on this board own and wear a St. Benedict Medal?
I purchased one this week, and I am fasinated by the story of the medal.

I just gave away a few of them a couple of weeks ago, they really are beautiful.

I keep a St Benedict crucifix in my kitchen. I have a friend who places a St Benedict medal above every window, according to an old tradition.

I wear a St. Benedict Crucifix, I have a medal under my pillow a St. Benedict Crucifix above the bed and a medal in my bedroom window. I have also got a St. Benedict medal hidden in my therapists couch.

I seem to have gotten rid of a lot of hate, since I began wearing the medal.

I’ve been meaning to pick one up. I like the story behind the medal as well, Sirach.

I got one like a month or so ago. I got a medal that I wear all the time, and I got a Crucifix which is on my shrine in my room.

I have about a 3/4" diameter St. Benedict medal on my key chain. I say a prayer to St. Benedict to intercede for me every day…

Thanks for this reference.

I’ve got such medal in my Rosary and never really knew about the tradition behind it.
