What’s a St. Benedict medal and would one be good to have? If I get it blessed I guess it would bestow graces like any other blessed object. I know nothing of Benedict.
The person above described it well. It is a great medal to have and be blessed. St. Benedict’s motto was Ora et Labora (Pray and Work). He was a great Saint who preformed many miracles. The St. Benedict medal is also used sometimes in exorcisms, and is something the devil runs from! So YES, it is a great thing to have.
And I’m not just saying that because I’m named after him!
