If i was going to get a rosary blessed by a priest, and it had a st. bendict crucifix and a st. bendict centerpiece, would the priest use the saint benedict medal blessing or just a normal rosary blessing? Or both? And do most priests know the st. benedict rosary enough to do it without warning or will he not know what it is when i ask him to bless it?
 
the blessing for the St Benedict medal is in the book of blessings, and any priest can use it.
 
Some priests may not know the form of the blessing for the St. Benedict medal, and I have met priests who do not even have a Book of Blessings. If you want him to use that blessing, you may want to bring along a copy of the words (you can find it online here: osb.org/gen/medal.html).
 
I have that rosary, it’s my favorite. It’s been blessed, but the priest just used a general blessing, not the specific St. Benedict one (though at the time I didn’t know there were special blessings; I was just starting RCIA and had recieved the rosary from my Great-Aunt).
